How it works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. For a summer visit in Wealdstone, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture 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.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Name one person we can call on the day

Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Space, access and the venue

- Clear of ambulance access and emergency routes
- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
- Not right beside residents’ rooms
