New Addington: your questions answered
What about parking in New Addington?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
What’s the nearest station to New Addington?
Hayes (Kent) station, about 2.6 miles north-east of the centre.
Can families and staff eat too?
Yes, and families love joining in.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can you park at the home?
In the car park or on the drive, away from ambulance routes.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
About the food
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
How we price a fish and chip van visit
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The menu and how many choices
- Numbers
- How long we serve
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your care home visit.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Your date and serving time
- A picture of the parking spot
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Roughly how many people, including children

What the van needs
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Close to the garden or entrance
- Not blocking ambulance bays
- Firm, level ground close to the home
