Mill Hill: care homes and access
Mill Hill is about 1 mile north-east of Burnt Oak, in Greater London. For care home visits in Mill Hill, we can park on a drive, a car park, a yard or firm, dry grass. Mill Hill is one of 764 places in Greater London where we bring the van. Our nearest city page is London, about 10 miles away.
A care home summer fair, perhaps with a church like St Paul's Church, is a good occasion for a van visit. Families coming by rail can use the station: Mill Hill Broadway station, about 1 mile south-west, is the nearest station.
We cover care home visits in every part of NW7 and N20 and the streets around it. We can serve a care home visit on streets such as Daws Lane, Byron Road and High Street, as long as there’s somewhere for the van.

Care home fish and chips in Mill Hill, cooked to order
Care homes, retirement housing and day centres all book visits, for one-off events and regular visits. We are frequently asked to cater day centres and lunch clubs and family days, with pie and chips, mushy peas and gravy.
Care homes in Mill Hill frequently have a small car park or drive, so we plan a spot that keeps emergency access clear. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

Planners, venues and businesses
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
How it works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. For a summer visit in Mill Hill, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden visits easy. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- 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.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for residents.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Every site is different, so we will ask about yours when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- A level, firm spot such as the car park or drive
- Away from emergency access
- Light near the van after dark
As a London location, Mill Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
