Sutton Wick questions
Is Sutton Wick close to London?
Roughly 53 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Could you trade in Albert Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What about residents on soft diets?
Yes: residents on soft diets can share the occasion with meals from your kitchen, following their care plans.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
Do you offer repeat visits?
Ask us about repeat dates when you enquire.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
Is a fish and chip van right for your care home visit?
A trip out to a restaurant is hard for many residents. The van comes to the home. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
