Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
As a London location, Ardleigh Green is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

What’s the nearest station to Ardleigh Green?
The closest is Gidea Park station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Will the weather be a problem?
We cook inside the van, so the weather does not stop us. Plan a short, lit route from the door to the hatch.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.

It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Do you cater Christmas fairs?
