Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Far enough from set to keep noise down
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
- Room for the crew to queue
As a London location, Sundridge is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

The process
The first sign we have arrived is typically the smell. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. In December, daylight in Sundridge ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- First, tell us about your shoot.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for the crew.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

What affects the price in Sundridge
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The day of the week
- Any minimum charge
- Service time
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.
Details that help
The more we know about your shoot, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The venue or postcode
- Expected numbers
- The date and time of the event
Still finalising the details? That is fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll quote on that. To start, use our quote form.
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 solves that by cooking on site.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Send final numbers the day before
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
- Give us a contact for call-time changes
