FAQs for St George in the East
What about parking in St George in the East?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
Could you trade in William Curtis Ecological Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for crew are worth planning.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your crew, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, Greater London included. See all areas.
Do you cater wrap parties?
We do. A chip van suits a relaxed wrap party.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.

Before you choose a spot

- Access checked by locations
- Lighting for early or late service
As a London location, St George in the East is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

Allergies and dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
- Share the base location and route
- Plan bins and waste at base
Lunch is planned around the call sheet, with a contact for changes.
A dining area at base helps.
Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
