Where the van can park in Battle

- Not right beside residents’ rooms
- A route in without tight gates
- A level parking spot near the entrance
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Planning help
Battle: your questions answered
Do you come to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Battle close to London?
Roughly 47 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for residents are worth planning.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Where should the van go?
In the car park or on the drive, away from ambulance routes.
