Care home fish and chips for Bessels Green events
About our care home fish and chips in Bessels Green
The van parks in the car park, on the drive or on a firm lawn, away from emergency routes. Typical bookings include open days for families and retirement village events, with sausage and chips, gravy and mushy peas.
At a rural home near Bessels Green, access matters so we can plan the route. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- A spot residents can enjoy, inside or out
- Away from bedroom windows
- Away from emergency access
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

FAQs for Bessels Green
Can the van park in Montreal Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, including Kent. See all areas.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is generally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Can you do smaller portions for residents?
Portion sizes are agreed in advance.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your care home visit and we will send a quote.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Residents will appreciate cover near the hatch.
