Common questions in Hyde Park Estate
Can the van park in Hyde Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Hyde Park Estate?
The closest is London Paddington station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
When do Christmas bookings fill up?
As early as possible. December weekends and Fridays are the first to go.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.

Planning for dietary needs

Afterwards, we pack up and leave you to the party.
A bit of festive music by the van helps.

Few things beat hot fish and chips in December, served fast.
The van suits big events and small ones. Typical bookings include:
- End-of-year customer events
- PTA Christmas events

Questions to ask before you book
- The cancellation terms
- The service time, and the cost of running over
- What the van needs: space, access, power
- How allergens are handled
How the day works
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your guests can wander over to the hatch once service starts. December in Hyde Park Estate means early darkness: the light goes at about 3:55pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Make sure the van can get in
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

- The number of meals
- Parking and the way in
- Any minimum charge
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.

Where the van can park in Hyde Park Estate

- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Access wide and high enough for the van
