Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Where the van can park in West Heath
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
- Agreement from the location manager and landowner
As a London location, West Heath is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.

- How easy the site is to reach
- Your choice of menu

FAQs for West Heath
Can the van park in Lesnes Abbey Woods?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first.
Which station is closest to West Heath?
The closest is Abbey Wood station, roughly 1 mile away.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Planners, venues and businesses
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Flag any coeliac crew
- Plan bins and waste at base
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Name a contact in the production office
We arrive at base in good time and set up, out of the way.
Pre-orders from the crew help on tight breaks.
A chip van compared with other options
Takeaway rarely reaches a location hot. A van cooks at the unit base. Larger groups usually cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
