The process
The first sign we have arrived is typically the smell, about the time the first crew wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. At midsummer, Albany Park has light until about 9:20pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Share the timings for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Make sure the van can get in

Planning the van’s spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- Clear of the shot and sound
- A hardstanding spot at the unit base
- Lighting for early or late service
As a London location, Albany Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
