Other occasions in Bounds Green
Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
How we price a fish and chip van visit
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Access and parking
- Whether a minimum applies
- The number of meals
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the event is
- Where the van would park
Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: tell us the basics about your care home visit, and we will firm it up nearer the time. To start, use our quote form.
About the food

Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order.

Bounds Green questions
What about parking in Bounds Green?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
Could you trade in O. R. Tambo Recreation Ground?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Can everyone take part?
Yes, with meals for texture-modified diets from the home’s own kitchen.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac residents when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do you cover Bounds Green?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Bounds Green. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
