Keep it simple, or plan every detail: a van that serves as people arrive, or service at a set time. We will suggest what suits your event. Whether it is weddings, especially the evening and christmas parties, we will put together a menu of gravy, haddock and chips and mushy peas and more.
London streets around St Helier can be narrow and lined with parked cars, which makes off-street parking, such as a drive, a school playground or a car park, the easiest option. Send us a picture of the spot. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Take a look at how we price and our guide to van hire costs.
What the van needs
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
St Helier is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.

What happens on the day
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Evenings in St Helier stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the queue and the path to the van need good lighting.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Tell us when you want to eat

Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.

Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
