In a London neighbourhood like Vanbrugh Park Estate, the van normally parks on a drive, in a car park or yard, or on a street with the right permission.

Questions from Vanbrugh Park Estate
We’re gathering after a service at St John the Evangelist's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Could you trade in East Greenwich Pleasaunce?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Children normally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
Planning the van’s spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
Vanbrugh Park Estate is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
