FAQs for Belmont
Could you trade in Canons Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first.
Is parking a problem for the van in Belmont?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
Where will the van park?
Wherever suits the home, as long as it’s level and safe; we’ll check access.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
What can residents choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
Care home fish and chips in Belmont, cooked to order
The van parks in the car park, on the drive or on a firm lawn, away from emergency routes. We serve gravy, mushy peas and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for staff thank-you lunches at the home and a monthly fish and chip day.
Care homes in Belmont often have a small car park or drive, so we plan a spot that keeps emergency access clear. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer before booking.

How it works
Changes on the day are fine: we can start a little later or slow the pace. For a summer visit in Belmont, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for residents.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Where the van can park in Belmont
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- Light near the van after dark
- Clear of ambulance access and emergency routes
- A level, firm spot such as the car park or drive
Belmont is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
