What’s the nearest station to North Ockendon?
The closest is Ockendon station, roughly 1.5 miles away.
Is parking a problem for the van in North Ockendon?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes, it is a popular stall. Get in touch with the date.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Will the weather be a problem?
We cook inside the van, so the weather doesn’t stop us. Keep the van close to the door.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Collect allergies in advance
- Choose a lit spot for the van
For a work party, food early in the evening generally works best.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.
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.
Organising a club, school or community event in North Ockendon? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.
Before you choose a spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
As a London location, North Ockendon is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
