Where the van can park in Cannon Hill
Every site is different, so we’ll ask about yours when you contact us. In general, we need:
- Firm, level ground close to the home
- Away from bedroom windows
- A route in without tight gates
As a London location, Cannon Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Care home fish and chips in Cannon Hill, cooked to order
We park close to the entrance or garden, away from emergency routes. Typical bookings include retirement housing and sheltered schemes and friday fish and chip treats, serving pie and chips, gravy and haddock and chips.
For a care home in Cannon Hill, a short stay in the car park works well, as agreed with the manager. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your care home visit, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

Cannon Hill: your questions answered
What about parking in Cannon Hill?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
Could you trade in Cannon Hill Common?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What can residents choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Do you offer repeat visits?
Tell us how frequently you’d like a visit.
Can everyone take part?
Yes, with meals for texture-modified diets from the home’s own kitchen.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can staff have lunch from the van?
Yes. Just include them in your numbers.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Agree numbers for residents, staff and families
- Plan portion sizes with us
- Share residents’ diets and allergies with us
- Plan how food reaches residents indoors
Residents in their rooms get food on a covered tray right away.
A regular date gives everyone something to look forward to.
