FAQs for Waterloo
Which station is closest to Waterloo?
London Waterloo station, in Waterloo itself.
Can you serve after a service at Christ Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
What do children eat?
Sausage and chips, normally. Let us know numbers and ages.
Is grass a problem?
Typically, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Show us where the van would go
With children, food about an hour in works well.
Plan cover in case of showers.
Space, access and the venue
We’ll be honest if a spot won’t work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
As a London location, Waterloo is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
