Finsbury Park: your questions answered
Could you trade in Stationers Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Finsbury Park?
Finsbury Park has its own station: Finsbury Park station.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for residents are worth planning.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you come to Finsbury Park?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Finsbury Park and the rest of Greater London. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
What about residents who don’t eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Is a fish and chip van right for your care home visit?
A trip out to a restaurant is hard for many residents. The van comes to the home. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.

- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather

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.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Planning the van’s spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- With the serving side away from windows
- A level parking spot near the entrance
- A spot residents can enjoy, inside or out
Finsbury Park is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: 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 booking.
