A green space like Hamstead Marshall Park is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, typically the council’s. Among the historic houses close to Stockcross are Benham Park (0.6 miles south-east) and Shaw House (2.6 miles east). For most parties, a home or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict vehicle rules.

Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the party.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- A picture of the parking spot helps
- Make sure the van can park legally
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
It is worth telling the neighbours, or invite them.
Finish with the birthday cake.
How it works
