Gospel Oak questions
What about parking in Gospel Oak?

Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Gospel Oak.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.

Other occasions in Gospel Oak
Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
The process
The first sign we have arrived is usually the smell, about the time the first crew wander across. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Gospel Oak: sunset is about 3:55pm, so lunch at base is frequently in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Make sure the van can get in
- Give us a contact for the day
Getting a price
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.

Before you choose a spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
- A queue area clear of trucks
- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes
Gospel Oak is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
