Upper Hale questions
Could you trade in Weybourne LNR?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Upper Hale?
The closest is Farnham station, roughly 1.6 miles away.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Do you do residents’ portions?
Tell us what you need and we will plan portion sizes with your team.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your care home visit and we will send a quote.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac residents and we will explain the options.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Let us know if smaller portions suit
- Arrange texture-modified meals from your own kitchen
- Agree numbers for residents, staff and families
- Choose a spot away from ambulance routes
Staff carry plates to residents who can’t come outside.
Inviting families makes it even more special.
Space, access and the venue
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Not blocking ambulance bays
- A clear way in for the van
- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
How the day works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Sunset in Upper Hale is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September; winter visits, dark by about 3:55pm, suit 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.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for residents.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the van can get in
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
