For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Space, access and the venue
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A short walk from the party
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Confirmation that the van can park there
Queen's Park is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
From the hatch
- Haddock and chips
