The process
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. In summer, Brockley has daylight until about 9:20pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- First, tell us about your care home visit.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for residents.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Keep space clear for residents at the hatch
How to get a price
Send us the date, the address or SE4 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and you’ll get a clear price. To get started, use our quote form.

Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

About the food
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A route in without tight gates
- Close to the garden or entrance
- A level parking spot near the entrance
As a London location, Brockley is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
