FAQs for Hanwell
Is parking a problem for the van in Hanwell?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
What’s the nearest station to Hanwell?
Hanwell has its own station: Hanwell station.
Can you do smaller portions for residents?
Tell us what you need and we’ll plan portion sizes with your team.
Where should the van go?
On a level spot in the car park or drive, clear of emergency access.
What can residents choose from?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can the van park on grass?
Usually, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.

Should I sort the food myself?
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 nobody has to miss the care home visit.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.

How it works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your residents, and we agree exactly where before the day. In summer, Hanwell has daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden visits easy. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Preparing for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
