Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
The home’s kitchen can make fish and chips, but a van turns it into an occasion. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.

- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.

About the food
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce and it is on the menu.
Looking after everyone
Most events have a few residents with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Check the spot with your manager
- Plan portion sizes with us
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- List residents’ diets, allergies and portion needs
Staff carry plates to residents who cannot come outside, while it is hot.
Inviting families makes it even more special.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
What the van needs
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- Access the van can manage
- A lit spot for evening service
- Away from emergency access
Heath Park is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.

Heath Park questions
Can the van park in Haynes Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.

The closest is Gidea Park station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.

We will agree portion sizes with your kitchen or care team.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac residents when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
