Working with your venue
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- What’s available on the pitch
- A queue area clear of rides and games
- Access that avoids crowds
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.
