The menu, dish by dish
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
How our care home fish and chips works in Agar Town
Some residents need texture-modified food, which should come from the home’s own kitchen and care team, so everyone can share the occasion safely. We are often asked to cater care staff treats and birthday treats for residents, with gravy, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
Care homes in Agar Town often have a small car park or drive, so we plan a spot that keeps emergency access clear. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do before you book.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Organising a club, school or community event in Agar Town? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.

What affects the price in Agar Town
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The minimum booking
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Parking and the way in
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.

Questions from Agar Town
What’s the nearest station to Agar Town?
Agar Town has its own station: Camden Road station.
Is parking a problem for the van in Agar Town?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you offer repeat visits?
Tell us how often you’d like a visit.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is generally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Is a fish and chip van right for your care home visit?
