Working with your venue
Organising a club, school or community event in Townhill Park? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A seaside afternoon with a chip van feels special. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.

Prices and what affects them

- Service time
- The number of meals
- The menu and how many choices
- Whether a minimum applies
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your care home visit is.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Your date and serving time
- The address or venue name
- A picture of the parking spot
- Roughly how many people, including children
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you’re ready, send us your details through our quote form.
Diets, allergies and planning
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Keep the van clear of emergency access
- Plan IDDSI-level meals with your own team
- Plan portion sizes with us
- List residents’ diets, allergies and portion needs
Staff carry plates to residents who can’t come outside.
Make it a regular event.

How the day works
Changes on the day are fine: we’ll adjust start times and pace to suit your care home visit. In summer, Townhill Park has daylight until about 9:25pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In December, with dark by about 4:00pm, lunchtime is best.
- 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.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for residents.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

FAQs for Townhill Park
Can you serve near the sea around Townhill Park?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Could you trade in Riverside Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can you do smaller portions for residents?
We’ll plan portions with the home.
Can you come every month?
Yes, ask us about regular dates.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for residents.
