Planning an event in Spring Park?
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
About our care home fish and chips in Spring Park
Many residents prefer smaller portions on a plate. For lunch clubs and themed afternoons, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, gravy and sausage and chips and more.
Care homes in Spring Park often have a small car park or drive, so we agree a spot clear of ambulance access. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
How it 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 Spring Park, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden visits easy. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- We start with the date, numbers and a serving time that suits the home.
- You get an access check and a clear quote.
- We agree portion sizes and any diets with your kitchen or care team.
- We serve hot from the hatch at the time the home chooses.
- We pack up quietly and leave the space tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

- Tell us when you want to eat

What the van needs
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Lighting for later visits
- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
- A level, firm spot such as the car park or drive
Spring Park is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
What we serve

Spring Park questions
What’s the nearest station to Spring Park?
The closest is West Wickham station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
What about parking in Spring Park?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.

Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
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 will tell you what we can offer.

- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- No kitchen needed

Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few residents with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Keep the van clear of emergency access
- Ask about smaller portions
- Choose a time around meals and medication
- Organise staff to carry food in
Food for residents indoors goes straight in on plates, while it is hot.
