Questions from Redbridge
Could you trade in Valentines Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is parking a problem for the van in Redbridge?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Can residents with special diets join in?
Your care team knows each resident’s needs. Share the diets and we’ll say what we can do; texture-modified meals should be prepared or advised on by your own team.
Do you offer repeat visits?
Tell us how frequently you’d like a visit.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Greater London included. See all areas.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is typically simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Planners, venues and businesses
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Where the van can park in Redbridge
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- With the serving side away from windows
- Clear of ambulance access and emergency routes
- Close to the garden or entrance
Redbridge is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
A chip van compared with other options
Compared with a takeaway delivery, the van cooks on site, so it isn’t lukewarm by the time it is plated. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
