Felcourt questions
Is Felcourt close to London?
Roughly 24 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Felcourt?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you do residents’ portions?
Tell us what you need and we’ll plan portion sizes with your team.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Can everyone take part?
Yes: residents on soft diets can share the occasion with meals from your kitchen.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac residents when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.

- A level, firm spot such as the car park or drive
- Away from bedroom windows
- A clear way in for the van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
