Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Access the van can manage
- A spot residents can enjoy, inside or out
- A level parking spot near the entrance
As a London location, Vanbrugh Park Estate is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
