With the A201 and A300 nearby, the home is easy for us to reach. Ludgate Hill is close by, a good starting point for a chat about days out.

About our care home fish and chips in Bankside
Your team knows your residents best, so we plan portion sizes, timings and diets with the home. For day centres and lunch clubs and a monthly fish and chip day, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas for your guests.
In Bankside, care homes typically have limited parking, so we plan a spot that keeps emergency access clear. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

Step by step
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. For a summer visit in Bankside, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden visits easy. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for residents.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Make sure the van can get in
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Why choose a fish and chip van in Bankside?
Compared with a takeaway delivery, a van serves hot food on site, so food is hot when it reaches residents. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
Why us?
- We cover Bankside and the whole of Greater London
- Quick service from the hatch
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- No surprises in your quote
Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.

Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Firm, level ground close to the home
- Away from emergency access
- A clear way in for the van
As a London location, Bankside is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
