Common questions in Greenhill
Which station is closest to Greenhill?
Hampstead Heath station, in Greenhill itself.
Is parking a problem for the van in Greenhill?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your residents, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.

A regular visit gives everyone something to look forward to in the calendar. On the menu are gravy, pie and chips and mushy peas, and we’re regularly asked to cater birthday treats for residents and themed afternoons.
In Greenhill, care homes generally have limited parking, so we agree a spot clear of ambulance access. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

How we price a fish and chip van visit
These are the factors that matter most:
- How many people are eating
- Distance and any road charges
- Any minimum charge
- Parking and the way in
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What we need to know
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Where the event is
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Where you’d like the van to go
Still finalising the details? No problem: tell us the basics about your care home visit, and we’ll quote on that. To start, fill in our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Organise staff to carry food in
- List residents’ diets, allergies and portion needs
- Agree the plan with your kitchen and care team
- Fit the visit around routines
Staff carry plates to residents who cannot come outside.
A seaside theme with bunting adds to the fun.
About the food

Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Mushy peas

A fish and chip van or other catering?
A trip out to a restaurant is hard for many residents. A van brings the treat to them. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
Why book with us
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
Read our pricing or the cost guide.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
