Care home fish and chips in Bowes Park, fried fresh
Some residents need texture-modified food, which the home’s own team prepares or advises on, so everyone can share the occasion safely. We serve sausage and chips, gravy and mushy peas, and we are often booked for residents’ family gatherings and care home summer fairs.
Care homes in Bowes Park frequently have a small car park or drive, so we plan a spot that keeps emergency access clear. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

FAQs for Bowes Park
Is parking a problem for the van in Bowes Park?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
Which station is closest to Bowes Park?
Alexandra Palace station, in Bowes Park itself.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for residents are worth planning.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
What can residents choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
