How care home fish and chips works in Greater London

Residents on soft or texture-modified diets need special care, which the home’s own team prepares or advises on, so everyone can share the occasion safely. We serve sausage and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas, and we are often booked for care home summer fairs and residents’ celebrations.

Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we are there in good time before you want to eat.

Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
A picture 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’ll pay

Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.

Fish and chip days across Greater London

Across Greater London, care homes, retirement housing and day centres book van visits. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within easy reach of places across Greater London, where some venues have extra rules about vehicles.

London: Some homes in London have links with a local church such as St George the Martyr, and a van visit can be part of a summer fête. For families visiting by train, London has its own station, Elephant & Castle station. For a summer visit in London, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.

Working with your venue

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.

What affects the price in Greater London

The price comes down to a few factors:

The date and time of year
How many people are eating
Travel, tolls and road charges
Access and parking

When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.

What to tell us

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:

Expected numbers
How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
A picture of the parking spot
The date and when you’d like to eat

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. When you are ready, use our quote form.

The menu, dish by dish

Mushy peas

Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.

Cod and chips

For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.

Should I sort the food myself?

For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.

Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Allergies and dietary needs

Most events have a few residents with dietary needs. To look after them:

Involve the kitchen and care team early
Plan how food reaches residents indoors
Plan IDDSI-level meals with your own team
Fit the visit around routines

Visitors are welcome if included in numbers.

Make it a regular event.

It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
