- A short walk from the party
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van

Upper Holloway: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Upper Holloway?
Upper Holloway has its own station: Upper Holloway station.
What about parking in Upper Holloway?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you need power or water from us?
A suitable spot for the van, mainly. Tell us what’s available and we’ll take it from there.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including Greater London. See all areas.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.

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.
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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
The process
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. For a late-May party in Upper Holloway, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it is about 9:20pm. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
