How the day works
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. In Romford, late spring and early autumn evenings stay light until about 8:50pm and 7:05pm; winter visits, dark by about 3:50pm, suit lunchtime.
- First, tell us about your care home visit.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for residents.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.

Is a fish and chip van right for your care home visit?
For a lovely, simple occasion, a fish and chip van visit is a great choice. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why book with us
- No surprises in your quote
- Quick service from the hatch
- Classic food your residents already know

What the van needs
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A spot residents can enjoy, inside or out
- Clear of ambulance access and emergency routes
- Light near the van after dark
As a London location, Romford is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

What affects the price in Romford
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Distance and any road charges

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. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- List residents’ diets, allergies and portion needs
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
