Radfall questions
What’s the nearest station to Radfall?
Chestfield & Swalecliffe station, about 1.5 miles north of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Radfall?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
Do you offer repeat visits?
Yes, ask us about regular dates.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
Can you park at the home?
Your manager can choose the spot.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Planning the van’s spot
We will be honest if a spot will not work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- Lighting for later visits
- Not blocking ambulance bays
- Access the van can manage
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
What we serve
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
- Gravy
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Pie and chips
How it works
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. For a summer visit in Radfall, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:15pm, which makes garden visits easy. In winter, dark by about 3:50pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- The home tells us the date, numbers for residents, staff and visitors, and the best time to serve.
- We check the parking spot and send a price.
- We plan portions and dietary needs with the home.
- We serve hot from the hatch at the time the home chooses.
- We pack up quietly and leave the space tidy.
Before we arrive
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
How to get a price
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we will check availability straight away.
