Manor Park: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Manor Park?
Manor Park station, about 0.5 miles west of the centre.
Could you trade in Loxford Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.

Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
