Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few residents with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Keep the van clear of emergency access
- Arrange texture-modified meals from your own kitchen
- Plan it with your catering manager
- Arrange plates and trays for residents inside
Service fits around the home’s routines.
Bunting, deckchairs and a seaside theme make it an occasion.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.

How the day works
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Residents will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. For a summer visit in Somers Town, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for residents.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Make sure the van can get in

For event organisers in Somers Town
Organising a club, school or community event in Somers Town? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
Space, access and the venue
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Lighting for later visits
- Clear of ambulance access and emergency routes
- A level, firm spot such as the car park or drive
Somers Town is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
