The process
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. Sunset in Kingsbury is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September; winter visits, dark by about 3:55pm, suit lunchtime.
- We start with a few details about your care home visit.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for residents.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

About the food

Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it’s hot, crisp and generous.

Questions from Kingsbury
What about parking in Kingsbury?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
What’s the nearest station to Kingsbury?
The closest is Hendon station, roughly 1.5 miles away.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is generally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac residents and we’ll explain the options before booking.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Can residents with special diets join in?
Your care team knows each resident’s needs. Share the diets and we will say what we can do; soft and texture-modified meals should come from your kitchen.
Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Count families who are joining in
- Plan how food reaches residents indoors
- Involve the kitchen and care team early
- Choose a time around meals and medication
Service fits around the home’s routines.
Music from the 1950s and 60s sets the mood.

- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes

Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
