Before you choose a spot
We will agree the cooking spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Pitch space for cooking and serving
- Spacing from tents and other structures
- Trader information and site rules
As a London location, East End of London is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
