Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Lighting nearby for evening events
As a London location, Forest Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Forest Hill in December: what to know
Forest Hill is about 2 miles south-east of East Dulwich, in Greater London. In and around Forest Hill, the van can serve from a drive, a yard, a car park or a firm field. Forest Hill is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover.
A winter fair at a school like Fairlawn Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. For colleagues travelling by train, the nearest station is Honor Oak Park station, about 0.5 miles north-east.
Here we cover the SE23, SE22 and SE26 postcode area. Local streets include Ewart Road, London Road and Rojack Road; a Christmas party on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. If your venue is just outside Forest Hill, we also cover Honor Oak (1 mile north), Perry Vale (1 mile south-east), Brockley (1 mile north-east), Crofton Park (1 mile north-east) and Dulwich (1 mile west). Further out, we also take the van to London (4 miles north-west), City of Westminster (6 miles north-west), Marylebone (6 miles north-west), Kensington (7 miles north-west), St Pancras (6 miles north-west) and Shoreditch (6 miles north).
