Common questions in Davington
Can the van park in Oare Meadow?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first.
Is Davington close to London?
About 44 miles from central London, and well within our area.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Can families and staff eat too?
Yes. Add them to your numbers.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
Can you come every month?
Ask us about repeat dates when you enquire.
Can the van come to Davington?
We do. Davington is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.

Planning the van’s spot

- Access the van can manage
- With the serving side away from windows
- A spot residents can enjoy, inside or out
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

How the day works
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. In summer, Davington has daylight until about 9:15pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In winter, dark by about 3:50pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- First, tell us about your care home visit.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for residents.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
