Common questions in Hounslow
Could you trade in Inwood Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is parking a problem for the van in Hounslow?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Hounslow.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Where should the van go?
In the car park or on the drive, away from ambulance routes.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you are not sure.

Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce and it’s on the menu.
Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen
- Arrange plates and trays for residents inside
- Keep the van clear of emergency access
Residents in their rooms get food on a covered tray right away.
Make it a regular event.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Perfect for your care home visit in Hounslow
It is food residents know and enjoy.
We can help if you’re planning any of the following:
- Themed afternoons
- Summer fêtes and open days
- Visiting days
- Day centre treats
Some homes in Hounslow have links with a local church such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, and a van visit can be part of a summer fête.
What your quote should include
- How long service runs, and what happens if you overrun
- Whether there is a minimum
- Any travel, parking or access charges
- A clear list of what’s included
Space, access and the venue
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Access the van can manage
- A spot residents can enjoy, inside or out
- Not blocking ambulance bays
Hounslow is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

How the day works
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we are hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. In summer, Hounslow 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.
- We start with a few details about your care home visit.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for residents.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
