Common questions in Sewardstone
Could you trade in Lee Valley Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What about parking in Sewardstone?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
Is the fish gluten-free?
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.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
Can you park at the home?
Wherever suits the home, as long as it’s level and safe.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
How the day works
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can enjoy your care home visit. In Sewardstone, late spring and early autumn evenings stay light until about 8:55pm and 7:05pm; winter visits, dark by about 3:50pm, suit lunchtime.

- 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.

Getting ready for the day
