Care home fish and chips in Belsize Park, fried fresh
Your team knows your residents best, so we plan portion sizes, timings and diets with the home. On the menu are pie and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater themed afternoons and visiting days.
In Belsize Park, 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, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Belsize Park: care homes and access
Belsize Park is about 1 mile south-east of Hampstead, in Greater London. Belsize Park is well within our area, so your care home visit just needs a date, a spot for the van and a serving time. Belsize Park is one of 764 places in Greater London where we bring the van.
Visitors arriving by train should know that South Hampstead station, about 0.7 miles west, is the nearest station. Some homes in Belsize Park have links with a local church such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, and a van visit can be part of a summer fête.
Anywhere in NW3, NW5 and NW1, we can fry fresh for your residents, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Whether your care home visit is on Eton Road, Lawn Road and Ornan Road or a nearby road, we’ll bring the van to you. Close by, we cover care home visits in Haverstock (1 mile north), Primrose Hill (1 mile south), South Hampstead (1 mile west), Swiss Cottage (1 mile west) and Chalk Farm (1 mile east). Further out, we also take the van to London (4 miles south-east), Kensington (4 miles south-west), Shoreditch (4 miles east), Walthamstow (7 miles north-east), Hoxton (3 miles east) and Whitechapel (4 miles south-east).
Other landmarks nearby include O2 Centre (0.8 miles west) and Metropolitan Borough of Hampstead (within half a mile north). The countryside around Belsize Park includes Adelaide Nature Reserve and The Long Water.
- Local schools include St Paul's Church of England Primary School (under half a mile south) and St. Mary's Town and Country School (less than half a mile west)
- Local pubs include The Washington pub (less than half a mile north)
- Parks and local facilities nearby include Cecil Sharp House (0.8 miles south-east)
How it works
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we are hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. In Belsize Park, late spring and early autumn evenings stay light until about 8:55pm and 7:05pm; for winter visits, choose lunchtime.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for residents.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Have a level parking spot ready

The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s 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 is crisp.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A themed afternoon with a van feels like a day out. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
Why Belsize Park hosts choose us
- No kitchen needed
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- No surprises in your quote

Belsize Park: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Belsize Park?
The closest is South Hampstead station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
Can the van park in Primrose Hill?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.

There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.

Yes. Children usually love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Belsize Park.

Where the van can park in Belsize Park
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- A lit spot for evening service
- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
- Firm, level ground close to the home
As a London location, Belsize Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
