Planning the serving area
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A pitch with space around it, away from tents and structures
- Flat, firm ground
- Vehicle access before and after the event
In Forest Gate, as everywhere in Greater London, the ULEZ applies and kerb space is limited. Where will the truck or trailer stop? A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

FAQs for Forest Gate
Could you serve in West Ham 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.
Can you trade at a school fair in Forest Gate?
We can, as long as the school agrees and the truck or trailer can reach the pitch. Tell us the date, the site and roughly how many visitors you expect.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
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.
When do you arrive?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book.

How the day works
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. Christmas markets in Forest Gate trade in the dark from about 3:50pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- You get our menu and pitch requirements.
- Power, water and access are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we are ready before the busiest hours.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
Preparing for the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Find out what power and water are available
