Common questions in Bridge
Do you come out to small places like Bridge?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Bridge close to London?
About 55 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can residents with special diets join in?
Your care team knows each resident’s needs. Tell us about any diets and we will explain what we can offer; soft and texture-modified meals should come from your kitchen.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac residents in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Can staff have lunch from the van?
Yes, and families love joining in.
Can portions be smaller?
Tell us what you need and we will plan portion sizes with your team.

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.

How it works
Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. Afterwards we pack up. In Bridge, late spring and early autumn evenings stay light until about 8:45pm and 7:00pm; for winter visits, choose lunchtime.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for residents.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
