Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
When everyone has eaten, we pack up and leave the drive tidy.
Your own cake makes the perfect finish.

Barking Riverside: your questions answered
We’re gathering after a service at Christ Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Could you trade in Mayesbrook Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can you do something for the children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include them in your numbers.

When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
Space, access and the venue
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Confirmation that the van can park there
As a London location, Barking Riverside is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
