Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Not right beside residents’ rooms
- A level, firm spot such as the car park or drive
- A route in without tight gates
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Westfield questions
What’s the nearest station to Westfield?
Doleham station, about 1.6 miles north-east of the centre.
Can you serve near the sea around Westfield?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for residents.
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.
What about residents who do not eat fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your residents, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.

Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Involve the kitchen and care team early
- Plan how food reaches residents indoors
- Ask about smaller portions
Staff carry plates to residents who cannot come outside.
A regular date gives everyone something to look forward to.
The process
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. In Westfield, the garden season runs from late May, with light until about 8:45pm, to late September, around 7:00pm; in winter, keep it to lunchtime.
- Send us 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.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Clear the route for the van
