Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Stadhampton
Is Stadhampton close to London?
About 46 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Stadhampton?
Radley station, about 4.8 miles west of the centre.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can residents with special diets join in?
Yes, with meals for texture-modified diets from the home’s own kitchen, following their care plans.
Can you do smaller portions for residents?
We will plan portions with the home.
Can families and staff eat too?
Yes, and families love joining in.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
