Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

Shooter's Hill questions
Can the van park in Eaglesfield Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Shooter's Hill?
The closest is Falconwood station, roughly 0.9 miles away.
Can you do smaller portions for residents?
We’ll plan portions with the home.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Step by step
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. In summer, Shooter's Hill has daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden visits easy. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Share the timings for the day

Where the van can park in Shooter's Hill
