A winter fair at a school like Ilderton Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. For anyone getting the train home after the party, South Bermondsey station serves Surrey Canal directly.

Streets in the area include Pump Lane, Bush Road and Water Lane, and the van can serve a Christmas party on any of them with a suitable parking spot.

- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
