Before you choose a spot
We will be honest if a spot will not work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
- Space for a queue away from paths
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
As a London location, Carpenders Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

What happens on the day
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can get on with your event. Summer events in Carpenders Park have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your visitors.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Share the timings for the day
