Care home fish and chips for your care home visit in Bakers Arms

Your team knows your residents best, so we plan portion sizes, timings and diets with the home. For day centres and lunch clubs and care staff treats, we can cook sausage and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas and more.

Care homes in Bakers Arms frequently have a small car park or drive, so we agree a spot clear of ambulance access. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what we can do.

The menu, dish by dish

Pie and chips

Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.

Haddock and chips

Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

Looking after everyone

A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:

  • Arrange plates and trays for residents inside
  • Choose a spot away from ambulance routes
  • Pick a time that suits the home’s day
  • Count families who are joining in

Food for residents indoors goes straight in on plates, while it’s hot.

A regular date gives everyone something to look forward to.

Before you choose a spot

A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:

  • A spot residents can enjoy, inside or out
  • Not right beside residents’ rooms
  • A level parking spot near the entrance

As a London location, Bakers Arms is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.

15 questions to ask before you book

How the day works

Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Garden visits in Bakers Arms work best between late spring and early autumn, with sunset about 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September; in winter, keep it to lunchtime.

  1. First, the plan: what, where and what time.
  2. You hear back on the date and the price.
  3. We agree exactly where the van parks.
  4. On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
  5. We leave the spot as we found it.

Before we arrive

  • Confirm the van is allowed on site
  • Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
  • Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Prices and what affects them

The price comes down to a few factors:

  • Access and parking
  • Any minimum charge
  • How far we travel
  • The length of service

Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

Getting an accurate quote

For a quote, it helps to have:

  • Any dietary needs and allergies
  • The venue or postcode
  • Where you’d like the van to go
  • Anything awkward about the way in

Send us the date, the address or E17 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and you will get a clear price. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.
