Planning the van’s spot
We’ll be honest if a spot will not work, and help find another. What matters most:
- Not blocking ambulance bays
- A level, firm spot such as the car park or drive
- A spot residents can enjoy, inside or out
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

The process
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. Garden visits in Adversane work best between late spring and early autumn, with sunset about 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September; in winter, keep it to lunchtime.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
