Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Golden Green
Is Golden Green close to London?
About 28 miles from central London.
What’s the nearest station to Golden Green?
The closest is Beltring station, roughly 2.6 miles away.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t 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.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Typically, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can portions be smaller?
We will agree portion sizes with your kitchen or care team.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Keep the van clear of emergency access
- Arrange texture-modified meals from your own kitchen
- Arrange plates and trays for residents inside
- Let us know if smaller portions suit
When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
A bit of music from residents’ younger days helps.
