A chip van near Brentford
Before you choose a spot
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A spot residents can enjoy, inside or out
- Access the van can manage
- Light near the van after dark
Brentford is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
What we serve
- Mushy peas
- Pie and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips

How our care home fish and chips works in Brentford
Smaller portions and plates with cutlery suit many residents. We serve cod and chips, gravy and mushy peas, and we are regularly asked to cater themed afternoons and day centre treats.
For a care home in Brentford, a short stay in the car park works well, as agreed with the manager. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- List residents’ diets, allergies and portion needs
- Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen
- Check the spot with your manager
- Arrange plates and trays for residents inside
Food for residents indoors goes straight in on plates.
Old seaside postcards and photos spark conversation.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
How it works
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. In Brentford, the garden season runs from late May, with light until about 8:55pm, to late September, around 7:05pm; in winter, keep it to lunchtime.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for residents.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

Questions from Brentford
What about parking in Brentford?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
Which station is closest to Brentford?
Brentford has its own station: Brentford station.
Do you fry it on site?

Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children typically love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.

Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.

Activities are important; a van visit combines a meal with an activity. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
