Event catering near Vanbrugh Park Estate
Vanbrugh Park Estate is about 1 mile east of Greenwich, in Greater London. From the centre of Vanbrugh Park Estate to the outskirts, the service works the same way: fresh frying, hot food from the hatch and a clear price. We cover 764 places across Greater London.
PTAs at schools such as Wildwood Montessori School frequently want one reliable hot-food stall. Events in parks such as East Greenwich Pleasaunce need permission from the council or landowner, and the van needs a firm route onto the pitch.
Wherever your event is in SE3, SE10 and SE7, we can fry fresh for your visitors, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Your event could be at a house on Webb Road, Hardy Road and Foyle Road or the roads around them, wherever the van can park. Close by, we cover events in Maze Hill (1 mile north-west), Greenwich (1 mile west), Westcombe Park (1 mile north-east), Blackheath (1 mile south) and Charlton (1 mile north-east). Further out, we also take the van to London (5 miles west), City of Westminster (8 miles west), Marylebone (7 miles west), Kensington (9 miles west), St Pancras (6 miles north-west) and Shoreditch (5 miles north-west).
Other landmarks nearby include Lewisham Shopping Centre (1.5 miles south-west) and Nunhead (2.9 miles west). Green spaces nearby include Tower Hill and Creekside Discovery Centre.
- Schools near Vanbrugh Park Estate include Blackheath High School (less than half a mile east) and Invicta Primary School (within half a mile east)
- Pubs nearby include Royal Standard pub (under half a mile east)
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Step by step
You don’t need to do much on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your event. The frying and serving are down to us. December events in Vanbrugh Park Estate lose the light at about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; in late May there is light until about 8:50pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch
