Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.

Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- The length of service
- How many people are eating
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The day of the week

What the van needs
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Not blocking ambulance bays
- Away from bedroom windows
- A level, firm spot such as the car park or drive
As a London location, Whitechapel is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
