Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Space, access and the venue
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A spot near your guests
As a London location, Seven Kings is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Step by step
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. Evening events need a little planning for light: in Seven Kings, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 3:50pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
