  • Travel, tolls and road charges

  • Your choice of menu

Throwing a party in Pitshanger? A van means no cooking for you, and works on drives, in yards and at hired halls. Tell us about parking permits. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Allergies and dietary needs

A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:

  • Flag any coeliac guests
  • Tell the neighbours the van is coming
  • Count children separately

After service, we pack up.

A gazebo by the hatch keeps the queue dry.

Food your guests will love

Gravy

A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.

Curry sauce

Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.

Space, access and the venue

The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:

  • A spot near your guests
  • Room in front of the hatch for a queue
  • The site’s agreement to a catering van

As a London location, Pitshanger is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Step by step

The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, which we agree with you beforehand. Autumn and winter parties in Pitshanger get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a lit spot for the van helps.

  1. Send us the date, address, numbers and serving time.
  2. We check access for the van and send a quote.
  3. We arrive, park on the drive or agreed spot and set up.
  4. We serve hot from the hatch while the party carries on.
  5. We pack up when we are done and leave the pitch tidy.

Getting ready for the day

  • Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
  • Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
  • Give us a contact for the day

Pitshanger questions

What about parking in Pitshanger?

It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.

Which station is closest to Pitshanger?

When should we book for a summer party?

Summer weekends go first. Contact us with your date.
