Party venues around High Barnet
High Barnet is about 1 mile north-west of Barnet, in Greater London. We park up at drives, car parks, yards and venues around High Barnet. High Barnet is one of 764 places in Greater London where we bring the van. You can also see our page for London, about 12 miles away.
A green space like King George's Fields (Monken Hadley) is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, normally the council’s. Within reach of High Barnet are historic houses such as Wyllyotts Manor (2.9 miles north). Grand settings like these frequently have strict rules on vehicles and caterers, so for most parties a home or hired hall is simpler.

Where the van can park in High Barnet
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Lighting nearby for evening events
As a London location, High Barnet is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in High Barnet? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
