Space, access and the venue
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- With the serving side away from windows
- A level parking spot near the entrance
- Away from emergency access
Fortis Green is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

About our care home fish and chips in Fortis Green
Some residents need texture-modified food, which the home’s own team prepares or advises on, so everyone can share the occasion safely. We’re frequently asked to cater lunch clubs and residents’ family gatherings, serving cod and chips, gravy and sausage and chips.
For a care home in Fortis Green, a short stay in the car park works well. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your care home visit, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

How we price a fish and chip van visit
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
