Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.

Planning the van’s spot
We’ll be honest if a spot won’t work. What matters most:
- Not right beside residents’ rooms
- Light near the van after dark
- Access the van can manage
Upminster Bridge 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.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
