Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Hurst Green
Is Hurst Green too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Hurst Green close to London?
Roughly 41 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What about residents on soft diets?
Yes, with meals for texture-modified diets from the home’s own kitchen.
Can you come every month?
We are happy to talk about repeat visits.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Children normally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac residents in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
What the van needs
If a spot is not suitable, we will tell you, and help find another. The main points are:
- A spot residents can enjoy, inside or out
- Access the van can manage
- Light near the van after dark
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Pick a time that suits the home’s day
- List residents’ diets, allergies and portion needs
- Arrange texture-modified meals from your own kitchen
- Organise staff to carry food in
Visitors are welcome if included in numbers.
Bunting, deckchairs and a seaside theme make it an occasion.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
