What we need at the venue
We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- Spacing from tents and other structures
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding
- The event’s site rules and timings
East Barnet is in London, inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, which covers all of Greater London, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays, off-street space or a parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Common questions in East Barnet
Which station is closest to East Barnet?
The closest is Oakleigh Park station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Oak Hill Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
Is the food very hot?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
How big an event can you cater?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
What areas do you cover?
