Questions from Hatch End
Is parking a problem for the van in Hatch End?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
Which station is closest to Hatch End?
The closest is Hatch End station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
Do you cover Hatch End?
Yes, we do. Hatch End is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
What about residents who don’t eat fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Can families and staff eat too?
Yes, it’s a lovely chance for families to visit.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
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.
Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Keep the van clear of emergency access
- Plan portion sizes with us
- Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen
- Organise staff to carry food in
Room service goes up covered and hot.
