Is a fish and chip van right for your care home visit?
Compared with a takeaway delivery, the van cooks on site, so it is not lukewarm by the time it’s plated. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your care home visit is.
Why us?
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site

Blacklands: your questions answered
Is Blacklands close to London?
About 53 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station is closest to Blacklands?
Ore station, about 0.6 miles east of the centre.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac residents when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Residents will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Do you cover Blacklands?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Blacklands. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
How much does a fish and chip van visit cost in Blacklands?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
What happens on the day
Changes on the day are fine: we will adjust start times and pace to suit your care home visit. In summer, Blacklands has daylight until about 9:15pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
