Roxbourne: your questions answered
Could you trade in Eastcote House Gardens?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Is parking a problem for the van in Roxbourne?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Do you do work Christmas parties?
We do. Send us your date and site details as early as you can.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
Can the van park on the street?

What about guests who don’t eat fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Do you cater Christmas fairs?
Yes, and hot food goes down well in December. Get in touch with the date.

About the food
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it is on the menu.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and it’s a favourite with children.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.

Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Collect allergies in advance
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
Park the van close to the door, so nobody is out in the cold for long.
Fairy lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A spot near your guests
As a London location, Roxbourne is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
