How the day works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. In summer, St Pancras has daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden visits easy. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- It starts with your date, numbers and mealtime.
- We check the parking spot and send a price.
- We plan portions and dietary needs with the home.
- We serve hot from the hatch at the time the home chooses.
- We clear up and leave the car park as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Give us a contact for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

For planners, venues and organisers
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Can’t 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.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in St Pancras
Is parking a problem for the van in St Pancras?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
Which station is closest to St Pancras?
London Kings Cross station, about 0.5 miles north-west of the centre.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
Do you offer repeat visits?
We’re happy to talk about repeat visits.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Can everyone take part?
Yes: residents on soft diets can share the occasion with meals from your kitchen.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Not right beside residents’ rooms
- A clear way in for the van
- A spot residents can enjoy, inside or out
As a London location, St Pancras is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.
