DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
Before you choose a spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Clear of ambulance access and emergency routes
- Light near the van after dark
- A clear way in for the van
Temple is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
On the menu in Temple
- Sausage and chips
- Gravy

- Cod and chips

What happens on the day
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. In Temple, late spring and early autumn evenings stay light until about 8:50pm and 7:05pm; for winter visits, choose lunchtime.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for residents.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.

Common questions in Temple
Could you trade in Garden Bridge?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What’s the nearest station to Temple?
London Blackfriars station, in Temple itself.
What about residents who don’t eat fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for residents are worth planning.
Are visitors included?
Yes, and families love joining in.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
A chip van compared with other options
The home’s kitchen can make fish and chips, but a van turns it into an occasion. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your care home visit is.
