Planning the van’s spot
If a spot is not suitable, we will tell you, and help find another. The main points are:
- A route in without tight gates
- A level parking spot near the entrance
- With the serving side away from windows
Hook is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.

How the day works
You don’t need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your care home visit. The frying and serving are down to us. In summer, Hook has daylight until about 9:20pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for residents.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Common questions in Hook
Can the van go to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is parking a problem for the van in Hook?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Is grass a problem?
Usually, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can staff have lunch from the van?
Yes, it is a lovely chance for families to visit.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
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 generally simpler.
