How our care home fish and chips works in Broom Hill
Some residents come out to the van; others watch from inside, and families are welcome too. For friday fish and chip treats and residents’ celebrations, we will put together a menu of pie and chips, gravy and haddock and chips for your guests.
Care homes in Broom Hill often have a small car park or drive, so we plan a spot that keeps emergency access clear. We cook inside the van, right where your residents are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

FAQs for Broom Hill
What about parking in Broom Hill?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.
What’s the nearest station to Broom Hill?
The closest is Orpington station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is normally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.

Yes, with meals for texture-modified diets from the home’s own kitchen, following their care plans.
Where should the van go?
Your manager can choose the spot; we will check access.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
What about residents who don’t eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
What affects the price in Broom Hill
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The length of service
- Distance and any road charges
- The number of meals
- Cod, haddock or both
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- A photo of the parking spot
