Questions from Parsons Green
Is parking a problem for the van in Parsons Green?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
What’s the nearest station to Parsons Green?
The closest is Imperial Wharf station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before you book.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Where will the van park?
Your manager can choose the spot.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
Do you offer repeat visits?
Yes, ask us about regular dates.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. Garden visits in Parsons Green work best between late spring and early autumn, with sunset about 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September; in winter, keep it to lunchtime.
- First, tell us about your care home visit.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for residents.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Keep space clear for residents at the hatch
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Keep the van clear of emergency access
- Organise staff to carry food in
- Let us know if smaller portions suit
- Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen
Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Music from the 1950s and 60s sets the mood.

- Light near the van after dark
