Care home fish and chips in City of London: what to expect
The van parks in the car park, on the drive or on a firm lawn, away from emergency routes. Typical bookings include family days and day centre treats, with haddock and chips, cod and chips and gravy.
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Residents will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch.
- 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.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for residents.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
What you will pay
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.

Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

Common questions in City of London
What about residents who do not eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including City of London.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Can staff have lunch from the van?
Of course. Just include them in your numbers.
