For planners, venues and organisers
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.

Planning for dietary needs

- Book as early as possible for December

- Keep the queue dry
A gazebo or covered doorway near the hatch helps on a wet night.
Some teams collect for a local charity on the day.
What the van needs
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- A short walk from the party
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
