- Allergies and diets you know about
- A picture of the space and the way in
- The date and time of the event
- Roughly how many people, including children
Still finalising the details? That is fine: tell us the basics about your care home visit, and we will firm it up nearer the time. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- Away from emergency access
- A clear way in for the van
- A spot residents can enjoy, inside or out
As a London location, Rise Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

The process
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. In summer, Rise Park has daylight until about 9:20pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In December, with dark by about 3:50pm, lunchtime is best.
- The home tells us the date, numbers for residents, staff and visitors, and the best time to serve.
- You get an access check and a clear quote.
- We agree portion sizes and any diets with your kitchen or care team.
- On the day we set up and fry fresh, serving at the agreed time.
- We pack up quietly and leave the space tidy.
How to prepare
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
How to get a price
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, fill in our quote form.

Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Looking after everyone
Most events have a few residents with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Agree the plan with your kitchen and care team
- Plan how food reaches residents indoors
- Agree numbers for residents, staff and families
- Keep the van clear of emergency access
Room service goes up covered and hot.
A seaside theme with bunting adds to the fun.

Rise Park: your questions answered
Can the van park in Raphael Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What about parking in Rise Park?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
What about residents who do not eat fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Can the van come to Rise Park?
We do. Rise Park is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Do you do residents’ portions?
We’ll agree portion sizes with your kitchen or care team.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac residents in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
