Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A lit spot for evening service
- A route in without tight gates
- Clear of ambulance access and emergency routes
As a London location, Hendon is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Common questions in Hendon
What’s the nearest station to Hendon?
The closest is Hendon station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
Can the van park in Hendon Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, Greater London included. See all areas.
What can residents choose from?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Typically, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Can residents with special diets join in?
Your care team knows each resident’s needs. Share the diets and we’ll say what we can do; soft and texture-modified meals should come from your kitchen.
Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Keep the van clear of emergency access
- Plan how food reaches residents indoors
- Arrange texture-modified meals from your own kitchen
- Let us know if smaller portions suit
Visitors are welcome if included in numbers.
Families love being included.
Organising for someone else?
