Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Keep the van clear of emergency access
- Involve the kitchen and care team early
- Fit the visit around routines
- Arrange plates and trays for residents inside
Residents in their rooms get food on a covered tray straight away.
Inviting families makes it even more special.
Step by step
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. In Fortune Green, the garden season runs from late May, with light until about 8:55pm, to late September, around 7:05pm; in winter, keep it to lunchtime.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for residents.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Let us know the serving time

What the van needs
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A route in without tight gates
- Light near the van after dark
- A spot residents can enjoy, inside or out
As a London location, Fortune Green is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: 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 you book.

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.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger residents and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Fortune Green
What about parking in Fortune Green?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
Can the van park in Kilburn Grange Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can everyone take part?
Yes: residents on soft diets can share the occasion with meals from your kitchen, following their care plans.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
Do you come to Fortune Green?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Fortune Green and the rest of Greater London. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
