Planning the van’s spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Access the van can manage
- A lit spot for evening service
- A level parking spot near the entrance
As a London location, North Woolwich is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

FAQs for North Woolwich
Can the van park in Beckton District Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is parking a problem for the van in North Woolwich?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you offer repeat visits?
We are happy to talk about repeat visits.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is normally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
