Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first.

How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.

Do you do regular visits?

Where can the van park?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.

Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Care home fish and chips for your care home visit in Hayes
The van parks in the car park, on the drive or on a firm lawn, clear of ambulance access. Whether it is staff thank-you lunches at the home and care home summer fairs, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips for your guests.
In Hayes, care homes usually have limited parking, so we agree a spot clear of ambulance access. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your care home visit, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. 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.
Perfect for your care home visit in Hayes

How it works
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, timed around your care home visit. In summer, Hayes has daylight until about 9:20pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
