Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
Ditton Hill is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the party.

Allergies and dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Count children separately
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
- Arrange an alternative if needed
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
We arrive, park up and heat the fryers, and serve as the party carries on.
Somewhere to sit makes eating easier.
