How our care home fish and chips works in Queen's Park
Your team knows your residents best, so we plan portion sizes, timings and diets with the home. Typical bookings include day centres and lunch clubs and retirement village events, serving sausage and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
In Queen's Park, care homes generally have limited parking, so we plan a spot that keeps emergency access clear. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Working with your venue
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.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
What happens on the day
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. In Queen's Park, the garden season runs from late May, with light until about 8:55pm, to late September, around 7:05pm.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Keep space clear for residents at the hatch
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
Getting a price
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.

Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

Families coming by rail can use the station: Queens Park (London) station serves Queen's Park directly. Some homes in Queen's Park have links with a local church such as West Kilburn Baptist Church, and a van visit can be part of a summer fête.

What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Firm, level ground close to the home
- Away from emergency access
- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
As a London location, Queen's Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
Popular choices
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
- Gravy

How we price a fish and chip van visit
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Access and parking
- The minimum booking
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How long we serve
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
What to tell us
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where you’d like the van to go
- A picture of the space and the way in
