How our care home fish and chips works in Bromley Common
Residents on soft or texture-modified diets need special care, which should come from the home’s own kitchen and care team. Popular choices include sausage and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for family days and care staff treats.
In Bromley Common, care homes usually have limited parking, so we agree a spot clear of ambulance access. We cook inside the van, right where your residents are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

FAQs for Bromley Common
Which station is closest to Bromley Common?
The closest is Bickley station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
Could you trade in Norman Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Bromley Common.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can residents with special diets join in?
Yes, with meals for texture-modified diets from the home’s own kitchen, following their care plans.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your residents, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Working with your venue
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
How it works
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your care home visit. In Bromley Common, late spring and early autumn evenings stay light until about 8:50pm and 7:05pm; winter visits, dark by about 3:55pm, suit lunchtime.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Preparing for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
