Planning the van’s spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A spot near your guests
Lissenden Gardens is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Parties in Lissenden Gardens: homes, halls and local tips
Lissenden Gardens is about 1 mile east of Hampstead, in Greater London. In and around Lissenden Gardens, the van can serve from a drive, a yard, a car park or a firm field. Lissenden Gardens is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London where we bring the van.

Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Let your neighbours know
- Send us a picture of the drive
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Send allergies to us in writing
Keep the queue away from the road.
Seats or a few tables help people eat comfortably.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the party.
For event organisers in Lissenden Gardens
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
Hosting at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.

Lissenden Gardens: your questions answered
Could you trade in Parliament Hill?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
We are gathering after a service at Highgate Road Chapel: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
What do children eat?
Yes. Children normally love sausage and chips. Include them in your numbers.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
