Care home fish and chips in Brent Cross, cooked to order
Residents can watch from the window or come out to the hatch, and families can join in. We are often asked to cater sheltered housing get-togethers and residents’ birthdays and anniversaries, with haddock and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
Care homes in Brent Cross frequently have a small car park or drive, so we plan a spot that keeps emergency access clear. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Common questions in Brent Cross
What’s the nearest station to Brent Cross?
Brent Cross West station, about 0.7 miles south-west of the centre.
What about parking in Brent Cross?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Are visitors included?
Yes, and families love joining in.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Can the van park on grass?
Usually, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for residents are worth planning.
Can the van come to Brent Cross?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Brent Cross is within our area. For a quote, use our quote form.

Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Distance and any road charges
