Care home fish and chips for your care home visit in Bell Green
For many residents, fish and chips brings back seaside trips and Friday nights. A van in the car park makes mealtime an occasion. For themed afternoons and residents’ family gatherings, we will put together a menu of pie and chips, haddock and chips and gravy for your guests.
In Bell Green, we park briefly in the home’s car park or drive, as agreed with the manager. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
About the food
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.

Questions from Bell Green
Could you trade in Mayow Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first.
Which station is closest to Bell Green?
Lower Sydenham station, in Bell Green itself.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac residents in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do you do residents’ portions?
Portion sizes are agreed in advance.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Children typically love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Can staff have lunch from the van?
Of course. Add them to your numbers.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
