Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Turnham Green
Is parking a problem for the van in Turnham Green?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
Which station is closest to Turnham Green?
Chiswick station, about 0.7 miles south-west of the centre.
Do you cover Turnham Green?
We do. We serve events in Turnham Green and across Greater London. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for residents.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac residents and we will explain the options.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
Who books care home fish and chips in Turnham Green?
It is a treat residents genuinely look forward to, and it sparks conversation.
Whatever brings people together, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. We’re frequently booked for:
- Sheltered housing get-togethers
- Fish and chip Fridays
- Day centres and lunch clubs
- Seaside days
Residents who remember days out at Duke's Hollow may enjoy talking about it over fish and chips.
What your quote should include
- When final numbers are due
- Any travel, parking or access charges
- Whether there’s a minimum
- How many hours the van serves
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Planning the van’s spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- Close to the garden or entrance
- A level parking spot near the entrance
- Away from bedroom windows
Turnham Green is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
