We park close to the entrance or garden, away from emergency routes. Typical bookings include care home summer fairs and a monthly fish and chip day, with cod and chips, pie and chips and gravy.
Care homes in East Sheen often have a small car park or drive, so we plan a spot that keeps emergency access clear. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Music from the 1950s and 60s sets the mood.
Planning the van’s spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A spot residents can enjoy, inside or out
- Not blocking ambulance bays
- Not right beside residents’ rooms
As a London location, East Sheen 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 you book.

What happens on the day
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, East Sheen has daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden visits easy. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- We start with a few details about your care home visit.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for residents.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
How to prepare
- Make sure the van can get in
- Keep space clear for residents at the hatch
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The menu and how many choices
- How many people are eating
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Any minimum charge
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Where the event is
- Allergies and diets you know about
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can send us your details through our quote form.

Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
