Working with your venue

Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
The process
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Your visitors can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. Summer events in Holloway Down have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your visitors.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Plan where the queue will stand

Holloway Down: your questions answered
Is parking a problem for the van in Holloway Down?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
Can the van park in West Ham Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can the van come to Holloway Down?
Yes, we do. Holloway Down is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Normally, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
