Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Carpenders Park
Can the van park in Oxhey Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first.
What’s the nearest station to Carpenders Park?
Carpenders Park has its own station: Carpenders Park station.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is generally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
Where will the van park?
In the car park or on the drive, away from ambulance routes.
Can families and staff eat too?
Yes, and families love joining in.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac residents and we’ll explain the options before you book.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Keep the van clear of emergency access
- Plan it with your catering manager
- Plan how food reaches residents indoors
- List residents’ diets, allergies and portion needs
We arrive in good time to park and heat the fryers.
A seaside theme with bunting adds to the fun.
Before you choose a spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- Away from emergency access
- With the serving side away from windows
- Lighting for later visits
As a London location, Carpenders Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
