Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Where the van can park in Sutton Common
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Lighting for later visits
- With the serving side away from windows
- A level, firm spot such as the car park or drive
As a London location, Sutton Common is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: 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 you book.

Food for residents indoors goes straight in on plates.

Can the van park in Morden Hall Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.

What happens on the day
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. In summer, Sutton Common has daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden visits easy. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
