What the van needs
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Away from bedroom windows
- Light near the van after dark
- A level parking spot near the entrance
Ickenham is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.

What affects the price in Ickenham
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Your choice of menu
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The minimum booking
- How long we serve
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- The venue or postcode
- The date and time of the event
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Still finalising the details? That is fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll quote on that. Start when you’re ready: send us your details through our quote form.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
The process
We don’t cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. In Ickenham, the garden season runs from late May, with light until about 8:55pm, to late September, around 7:05pm.
- First, tell us 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.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
