Planning the van’s spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- Not right beside residents’ rooms
- Access the van can manage
- A lit spot for evening service
As a London location, Cubitt Town is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

The process
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Residents will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Garden visits in Cubitt Town work best between late spring and early autumn, with sunset about 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for residents.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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 normally simpler.
