Care home fish and chips in Bedford Park, cooked to order
Residents can watch from the window or come out to the hatch, and families are welcome too. On the menu are sausage and chips, cod and chips and gravy, and we’re regularly asked to cater birthday treats for residents and open days for families.
For a care home in Bedford Park, a short stay in the car park works well, as agreed with the manager. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Take a look at how we price or what a fish and chip van costs.
Before you choose a spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Light near the van after dark
- A level parking spot near the entrance
- Clear of ambulance access and emergency routes
As a London location, Bedford Park 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.

Organising for someone else?
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Bedford Park? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
Occasions we serve in Bedford Park
The home only needs to provide a parking spot and a plan for residents’ diets.
The van suits big events and small ones. Common bookings include:
- Fish and chip Fridays

- Residents’ celebrations
- Sheltered housing get-togethers
Some homes in Bedford Park have links with a local church such as St Peter's, and a van visit can be part of a summer fête.

What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:

- The length of service
- Numbers

Bedford Park questions
What about parking in Bedford Park?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.
Which station is closest to Bedford Park?
Bedford Park has its own station: South Acton station.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac residents and we’ll explain the options.
Can you come every month?
We are happy to talk about repeat visits.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your residents, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Where will the van park?
In the car park or on the drive, away from ambulance routes.
