Common questions in Upper Ruxley
Is parking a problem for the van in Upper Ruxley?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
Can the van park in Foots Cray Meadows?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children normally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
Yes. Send us your date and site details as early as you can.
Do you cater Christmas fairs?
Yes, and hot food goes down well in December. Send us the details.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Looking after everyone
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Collect allergies in advance
Send people out in groups.
Hot drinks alongside make it even better.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
