Allergies and dietary needs

Finish with the birthday cake.
Planning the van’s spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
As a London location, Beckenham is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.

Beckenham questions
We’re gathering after a service at Christ Church: can you come?
