Questions from Strand-on-the-Green

Can the van park in Kew Green?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first.

Is parking a problem for the van in Strand-on-the-Green?

It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.

Can you cater for allergies?

We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.

Can residents with special diets join in?

Yes: residents on soft diets can share the occasion with meals from your kitchen.

Do you fry it on site?

Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.

Where should the van go?

On a level spot in the car park or drive, clear of emergency access.

What do you bring?

All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.

Is there something for children?

Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.

Diets, allergies and planning

With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:

  • Share residents’ diets and allergies with us
  • Agree numbers for residents, staff and families
  • Ask about smaller portions
  • Involve the kitchen and care team early

Room service goes up covered and hot.

Inviting families makes it even more special.

How it works

Expect a friendly, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and get on with frying and serving. Garden visits in Strand-on-the-Green work best between late spring and early autumn, with sunset about 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September; in winter, keep it to lunchtime.

  1. First, the plan: what, where and what time.
  2. You hear back on the date and the price.
  3. The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
  4. On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
  5. We leave the spot as we found it.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the van can get in
  • Share the timings for the day
  • Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Planning help

A fish and chip van or other catering?

A seaside afternoon with a chip van feels special, without leaving the home. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.

What you get with us

  • All the chip-shop extras
  • No surprises in your quote
  • Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
  • Fish and chips fried fresh on site

Take a look at our prices page or the cost guide.

Takeaway run or book a van?

For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Before you choose a spot

Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:

  • With the serving side away from windows
  • A lit spot for evening service
  • Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside

Strand-on-the-Green is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.

Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
