Questions from Stroud Green
Could you trade in Stationers Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Which station is closest to Stroud Green?
Harringay station, in Stroud Green itself.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Typically, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Can residents with special diets join in?
The home knows each resident best. Tell us about any diets and we’ll explain what we can offer; soft and texture-modified meals should come from your kitchen.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
Where will the van park?
In the car park or on the drive, away from ambulance routes.
Can you do smaller portions for residents?
We’ll plan portions with the home.
About our care home fish and chips in Stroud Green
Smaller portions and plates with cutlery suit many residents, and we plan that with you. We are often asked to cater retirement housing and sheltered schemes and lunch for the care team, with cod and chips, gravy and sausage and chips.
In Stroud Green, we park briefly in the home’s car park or drive, as agreed with the manager. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what we can do before you book.

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Agree numbers for residents, staff and families
- Plan portion sizes with us
- Share residents’ diets and allergies with us
- Keep the van clear of emergency access
We set up before the mealtime, quietly.
Inviting families makes it even more special.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
What the van needs
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Lighting for later visits
- Away from bedroom windows
- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
Stroud Green 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 will advise before booking.
