Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Planning the van’s spot
We will be honest if a spot won’t work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
As a London location, Woodside is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
