Manor House questions
Can the van park in Chestnuts Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Which station is closest to Manor House?
Harringay Green Lanes station, in Manor House itself.
Can residents with special diets join in?
Yes: residents on soft diets can share the occasion with meals from your kitchen, following their care plans.
Are visitors included?
Of course. Add them to your numbers.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
Where should the van go?
Your manager can choose the spot; we’ll check access.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for residents.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- How easy the site is to reach
- The date and time of year
- The minimum booking
- The length of service
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- The date and time of the event
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The address or venue name
- Where you’d like the van to go
Each quote is put together for your care home visit. Start with your date, and we will check availability right away.
Why choose care home fish and chips in Manor House?

Almost any gathering works with a fish and chip van. People in Manor House book the van for events such as:
- Day centre treats

- Open days for families
- Retirement village events
Families coming by rail can use the station: Harringay Green Lanes station serves Manor House directly.

For planners, venues and organisers
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Taking residents out is a big undertaking. A van brings the treat to them. Larger groups normally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why us?
- Rain does not stop the fryers
- A clear quote before booking
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- A menu almost everyone likes
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours when you contact us. In general, we need:
- Access the van can manage
- A spot residents can enjoy, inside or out
- A level, firm spot such as the car park or drive
Manor House is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
