Care home fish and chips in Canning Town, fried fresh
A regular visit gives everyone something to look forward to. Whether it is a monthly fish and chip day and open days for families, we can cook gravy, sausage and chips and mushy peas and more.
In Canning Town, care homes typically have limited parking, so we agree a spot clear of ambulance access. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

The menu, dish by dish
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
A chip van compared with other options
Entertainers and activities are great; a van visit is both. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.

Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Canning Town: care homes and access
Canning Town is about 5 miles east of London, in Greater London. We take a fish and chip van visit to homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Canning Town and nearby villages. We take the van to all 764 towns and villages in Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages.
The A1020 make Canning Town a simple journey for the van. Old photos of Gilbert's Pit can spark conversation during a van visit.
For care home visits in E16, E13 and E6, we just need to know where the van can park. Your care home visit could be at a house on Ivy Road, Star Lane and Bell Lane or the roads around them, wherever the van can park. Canning Town is on the A1020, so it is easy for us to reach with the van. We also bring the van to care home visits in Custom House (1 mile south), Plaistow (1 mile north), Limmo Peninsula (1 mile west), West Silvertown (1 mile south) and Leamouth (1 mile west). We also serve nearby towns such as London (5 miles west), City of Westminster (8 miles west), Marylebone (7 miles west), Kensington (10 miles west), St Pancras (6 miles west) and Shoreditch (5 miles west).
A little further out are West Ham United Football Club Museum (1.4 miles north-east) and Albert Dock Seamen's Hospital (0.5 miles east). Within reach you will find Gilbert's Pit and Hollow Pond.

For planners, venues and organisers
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
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 work through them with you.

Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
