Organising a club, school or community event in Kingston Vale? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.

Before you choose a spot
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
- What’s available on the pitch
As a London location, Kingston Vale is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
