How our care home fish and chips works in Bromley Green
Smaller portions and plates with cutlery suit many residents, and we plan that with you. We are frequently asked to cater visiting days and birthday treats for residents, serving sausage and chips, gravy and cod and chips.
Near Bromley Green, residents may not get out much, so a chip van visit is a special day. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
A chip van compared with other options
Entertainers and activities are great; a van visit combines a meal with an activity. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your care home visit is.
What you get with us
- No kitchen needed
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- A quote that spells everything out
How it works
There’s very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your care home visit. The frying and serving are down to us. For a summer visit in Bromley Green, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:15pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In winter, dark by about 3:50pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for residents.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Let us know the serving time
- Keep space clear for residents at the hatch

Common questions in Bromley Green
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Bromley Green close to London?
About 50 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.

What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
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.
Where the van can park in Bromley Green
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Firm, level ground close to the home
- Not blocking ambulance bays
- Light near the van after dark
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
From the hatch
