Working with your venue
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Planning the van’s spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Flat, firm ground for the van
Merton Abbey is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Diets, allergies and planning
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
- Put allergy details in writing
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
Afterwards, we pack up.
Festive lights by the van look great.
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.

- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
