Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in South Tottenham
Which station is closest to South Tottenham?
South Tottenham has its own station: Seven Sisters station.
Is parking a problem for the van in South Tottenham?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
Do you do regular visits?
Yes, ask us about regular dates.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac residents in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
What about residents on soft diets?
Yes: residents on soft diets can share the occasion with meals from your kitchen.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for residents are worth planning.
What can residents choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
A chip van compared with other options
A themed afternoon with a van feels like a day out, without leaving the home. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.

Looking after everyone

- Let us know if smaller portions suit
Families can join in, with numbers agreed in advance.
Inviting families makes it even more special.
What a fish and chip van costs
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- How long we serve
- The menu and how many choices
- The number of meals
- Access and parking
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.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Each quote is put together for your care home visit. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
