Farley Green: your questions answered
Is Farley Green too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Could you trade in Cucknell's Wood?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your residents, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Where should the van go?
On a level spot in the car park or drive, clear of emergency access.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Can the van park on grass?
Usually, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The day of the week
- Parking and the way in
- How long we serve
- Any minimum charge
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Your date and serving time
- The address or venue name
- A picture of where the van would go
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can send us your details through our quote form.
The process
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, timed around your care home visit. In Farley Green, late spring and early autumn evenings stay light until about 8:50pm and 7:05pm; winter visits, dark by about 3:55pm, suit lunchtime.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Name one person we can call on the day

Planning help
Looking after everyone
Most events have a few residents with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Plan portion sizes with us
- Choose a time around meals and medication
- Plan how food reaches residents indoors
- Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen
Service fits around the home’s routines.
A seaside theme with bunting adds to the fun.
Working with your venue
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.

- A spot residents can enjoy, inside or out
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
