Hurlingham: your questions answered
Can the van park in Parsons Green (park)?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What’s the nearest station to Hurlingham?
Imperial Wharf station, about 0.8 miles east of the centre.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac residents in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Are visitors included?
Yes. Just include them in your numbers.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.
What a fish and chip van costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- The menu and how many choices
- Parking and the way in
- The date and time of year
- Any minimum charge
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- A photo of the parking spot
- The date and time of the event
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Allergies and diets you know about
The quickest way to a quote is to use our quote form. Tell us about your care home visit in Hurlingham, and we will check the date and send a price.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a delivery order, a van serves hot food on site, so food is hot when it reaches residents. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your care home visit is.
Why book with us
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Classic food your residents already know
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- A clear quote before booking
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.

- Plan it with your catering manager
We set up before the mealtime, quietly.
Families love being included.
What happens on the day
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. In summer, Hurlingham 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.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Clear the route for the van
