Fisher's Pond questions
Do you come out to small places like Fisher's Pond?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Fisher's Pond close to London?
About 63 miles from central London.
Can staff have lunch from the van?
Yes, it’s a lovely chance for families to visit.
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.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
Do you come to Fisher's Pond?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Fisher's Pond is within our area. For a quote, use our quote form.

The van parks in the car park, on the drive or on a firm lawn, away from emergency routes. We serve mushy peas, pie and chips and haddock and chips, and we are frequently booked for residents’ celebrations and lunch for the care team.
For a care home near Fisher's Pond, tell us about lanes and the drive so we can plan the route. You will know what’s included before booking: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.
About the food
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
What the van needs
We will be honest if a spot won’t work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- A level, firm spot such as the car park or drive
- Access the van can manage
- Away from bedroom windows
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Plan it with your catering manager
- Fit the visit around routines
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Keep the van clear of emergency access
Service fits around the home’s routines.
Seaside photos give people something to talk about.
Organising for someone else?
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Taking residents out is a big undertaking. A van brings the treat to them. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
Why us?
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- No kitchen needed
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Classic food your residents already know
