Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Dancers Hill? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.

How the day works

Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. In Dancers Hill, the garden season runs from late May, with light until about 8:55pm, to late September, around 7:05pm; in winter, keep it to lunchtime.

  1. We start with a few details about your care home visit.
  2. You get an availability check and a clear quote.
  3. Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
  4. We cook to order on the day for residents.
  5. Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.

Before we arrive

  • Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
  • Choose a level, firm spot for the van
  • Let us know the serving time

Visitors are welcome if included in numbers.

Bunting, deckchairs and a seaside theme make it an occasion.

How to compare vans

Common questions in Dancers Hill

What’s the nearest station to Dancers Hill?

Potters Bar station, about 1.5 miles north-east of the centre.

Is parking a problem for the van in Dancers Hill?

It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.

How quickly can you serve everyone?

That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.

Do you have a kids’ option?

Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.

Can you park on the road outside?

That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.

Can everyone take part?

The home knows each resident best. Share the diets and we will say what we can do; soft and texture-modified meals should come from your kitchen.

Can the van park on grass?

It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.

Can you park at the home?

In the car park or on the drive, away from ambulance routes.

Planning the van’s spot

If a spot isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you. The main points are:

  • Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
  • Away from bedroom windows
  • Lighting for later visits

As a London location, Dancers Hill 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.
