Care home fish and chips for your care home visit in Bermondsey
Smaller portions and plates with cutlery suit many residents. For sheltered housing get-togethers and birthday treats for residents, we will put together a menu of pie and chips, gravy and cod and chips for your guests.
In Bermondsey, care homes generally have limited parking, so we plan a spot that keeps emergency access clear. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Where the van can park in Bermondsey
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- Not right beside residents’ rooms
- A level parking spot near the entrance
- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
Bermondsey is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

FAQs for Bermondsey
Can the van park in Bermondsey Spa Gardens?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What’s the nearest station to Bermondsey?
London Bridge station, about 0.7 miles north-west of the centre.
Can portions be smaller?
Portion sizes are agreed in advance.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can staff have lunch from the van?
Of course. Add them to your numbers.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
