How our care home fish and chips works in Hillingdon
Some residents come out to the van; others watch from inside, and families can join in. Whether it’s lunch for the care team and residents’ celebrations, we can cook mushy peas, cod and chips and sausage and chips for your guests.
For a care home in Hillingdon, a short stay in the car park works well, as agreed with the manager. We cook inside the van, right where your residents are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

- A spot residents can enjoy, inside or out
- Access the van can manage

Working with your venue
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- The minimum booking
- How easy the site is to reach
- The date and time of year
- The number of meals
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
These details help us quote quickly:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Where the event is
- The date and time of the event

Common questions in Hillingdon
Is parking a problem for the van in Hillingdon?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
Could you trade in Norman Leddy Memorial Gardens?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your residents, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your care home visit and we’ll send a quote.
What happens on the day
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Residents typically gather round the hatch once service starts. In summer, Hillingdon has daylight until about 9:25pm, which makes garden visits easy. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- We start with the date, numbers and a serving time that suits the home.
- We check where the van can park and send a quote.
- We plan portions and dietary needs with the home.
- We park up and cook to order at mealtime.
- We clear up and leave the car park as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
Getting a price
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.
