Questions from Northfields
Can the van park in Lammas Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first.
Is parking a problem for the van in Northfields?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your residents, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
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.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
What the van needs
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Close to the garden or entrance
- A clear way in for the van
- Clear of ambulance access and emergency routes
Northfields is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
From the hatch
- Pie and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Gravy
- Cod and chips
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Arrange plates and trays for residents inside
- Plan IDDSI-level meals with your own team
- Share residents’ diets and allergies with us
- Plan portion sizes with us
Service fits around the home’s routines.
Music from the 1950s and 60s sets the mood.
- 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
