Bushey Mead: your questions answered
Is parking a problem for the van in Bushey Mead?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
Which station is closest to Bushey Mead?
Raynes Park station, in Bushey Mead itself.
Can families and staff eat too?
Yes, it is a lovely chance for families to visit.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Where should the van go?
On a level spot in the car park or drive, clear of emergency access.
What about residents on soft diets?
Yes, with meals for texture-modified diets from the home’s own kitchen.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac residents in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
What the van needs
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- A lit spot for evening service
- Access the van can manage
- Firm, level ground close to the home
Bushey Mead 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.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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.
