Questions from Surbiton
Could you trade in Stokes Field?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Is parking a problem for the van in Surbiton?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Children normally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Can residents with special diets join in?
Your care team knows each resident’s needs. Tell us about any diets and we’ll explain what we can offer; soft and texture-modified meals should come from your kitchen.
Do you cover Surbiton?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Surbiton and across Greater London. Send us your date to check availability.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
Care home fish and chips in Surbiton, cooked to order
The van parks in the car park, on the drive or on a firm lawn, clear of ambulance access. Whether it is retirement housing and sheltered schemes and staff thank-you lunches at the home, we will put together a menu of pie and chips, gravy and cod and chips for your guests.
In Surbiton, we park briefly in the home’s car park or drive, as agreed with the manager. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- List residents’ diets, allergies and portion needs
- Fit the visit around routines
- Plan IDDSI-level meals with your own team
- Check the spot with your manager
We arrive in good time to park and heat the fryers, quietly.
A regular date gives everyone something to look forward to.
The process
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. Sunset in Surbiton is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September; for winter visits, choose lunchtime.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for residents.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
