What else we do in Troy Town
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Agree the plan with your kitchen and care team
- Keep the van clear of emergency access
- Plan how food reaches residents indoors
- Tell us about residents’ needs in writing
Staff carry plates to residents who cannot come outside.
Bunting, deckchairs and a seaside theme make it an occasion.
Working with your venue
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.

How far is Troy Town from London?
About 21 miles from central London, and well within our area.

It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.

The process
We work to your timings. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. In summer, Troy Town has daylight until about 9:20pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
