Fresh fish and chips in Botany Bay
How our care home fish and chips works in Botany Bay
Many residents prefer smaller portions on a plate. For friday fish and chip treats and open days for families, we’ll put together a menu of sausage and chips, gravy and haddock and chips and more.
Care homes in Botany Bay frequently have a small car park or drive, so we plan a spot that keeps emergency access clear. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

Questions from Botany Bay
What about parking in Botany Bay?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
Can the van park in Trent Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
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 offer repeat visits?
We are happy to talk about repeat visits.
Is grass a problem?
Normally, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. 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.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Tell us about residents’ needs in writing
- Agree the plan with your kitchen and care team
- Count families who are joining in
- Arrange texture-modified meals from your own kitchen
Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Make it a regular event.
Space, access and the venue
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Not right beside residents’ rooms
- Firm, level ground close to the home
- A spot residents can enjoy, inside or out
Botany Bay 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 will advise.
