What the van needs
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Confirmation the van can trade there
- What’s available on the pitch
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
As a London location, Green Street Green is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
