Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Lower North Dean
Do you come out to small places like Lower North Dean?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you come to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Lower North Dean.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is normally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can everyone take part?
Yes: residents on soft diets can share the occasion with meals from your kitchen.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Usually, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
How it works
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your care home visit. For a summer visit in Lower North Dean, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:25pm, which makes garden visits easy. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for residents.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Let us know the serving time
- Name one person we can call on the day
