Common questions in Green Street
Could you trade in Filsham Reedbed?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Green Street too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Where will the van park?
Wherever suits the home, as long as it’s level and safe; we will check access.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not 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.
Who books care home fish and chips in Green Street?
It gives staff a break from the kitchen.
Whatever brings people together, fish and chips from the hatch goes down well. We’re frequently booked for:
- Birthday treats for residents
- Staff thank-you lunches at the home
- Open days for families
- Friday fish and chip treats
Some homes in Green Street have links with a local church such as The Parish Church of St George, and a van visit can be part of a summer fête.

Organising for someone else?
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
About the food
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Looking after everyone
Most events have a few residents with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Keep the van clear of emergency access
- Arrange plates and trays for residents inside
- Agree the plan with your kitchen and care team
- Plan IDDSI-level meals with your own team
We arrive in good time to park and heat the fryers.
Inviting families makes it even more special.
Planning the van’s spot
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A route in without tight gates
- With the serving side away from windows
- Light near the van after dark
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

- A van that becomes part of the event
- A menu almost everyone likes

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
