Common questions in Tyler's Green
Could you trade in Bay Pond?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first.
Which station is closest to Tyler's Green?
Caterham station, about 1.9 miles north of the centre.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Do you do regular visits?
Tell us how often you’d like a visit.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Residents will appreciate cover near the hatch.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
Why choose care home fish and chips in Tyler's Green?

A fish and chip van or other catering?

- A clear quote before you book
The process
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. In summer, Tyler's Green has daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden visits easy. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Ensure the van can get in
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
