Care home fish and chips for your care home visit in Brompton
Staff get a break from the usual routine, and something to look forward to. We serve sausage and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips, and we’re frequently booked for a monthly fish and chip day and care home summer fairs.
Care homes in Brompton often have a small car park or drive, 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 is handed over.

Space, access and the venue
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- Away from bedroom windows
- Away from emergency access
- A level parking spot near the entrance
Brompton is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
