Space, access and the venue
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- Light near the van after dark
- Not blocking ambulance bays
- Close to the garden or entrance
As a London location, Hammersmith is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.

About the food
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Step by step
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. December visits in Hammersmith are best at lunchtime, as it’s dark by about 3:55pm, while summer visits can run into the evening, with light until about 9:20pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Clear the route for the van
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
