What else we do in Filmore Hill
Working with your venue
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
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.
About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Agree the plan with your kitchen and care team
- Choose a time around meals and medication
- Keep the van clear of emergency access
- Arrange texture-modified meals from your own kitchen
We serve at the time the home chooses, around meals and medication.
Inviting families makes it even more special.
Step by step
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. In Filmore Hill, the garden season runs from late May, with light until about 8:55pm, to late September, around 7:10pm; in winter, keep it to lunchtime.
- First, tell us about your care home visit.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for residents.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Clear the route for the van

Questions from Filmore Hill
How far is Filmore Hill from London?
Roughly 52 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, Hampshire included. See all areas.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
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 picture.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
What about residents on soft diets?
Your care team knows each resident’s needs. Share the diets and we’ll say what we can do; soft and texture-modified meals should come from your kitchen.
Space, access and the venue
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Light near the van after dark
- Access the van can manage
- A level parking spot near the entrance
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
Popular choices
- Gravy
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips
- Sausage and chips
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Numbers
- Parking and the way in
- Cod, haddock or both
- Any minimum charge
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
What we need to know
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Where the van would park
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the event is
Most quotes start with a few simple details: 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.
