Fresh fish and chips in Canons Park
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
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.
Care home fish and chips for your care home visit in Canons Park
Care homes, retirement housing and day centres all book visits, for one-off events and regular visits. Popular choices include sausage and chips, haddock and chips and gravy, and typical bookings are for visiting days and themed afternoons.
For a care home in Canons Park, a short stay in the car park works well. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

How the day works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Sunset in Canons Park is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September; for winter visits, choose lunchtime.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Working with your venue
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Venues frequently 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.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A clear way in for the van
- Close to the garden or entrance
- With the serving side away from windows
As a London location, Canons Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
Popular choices
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
- Cod and chips

Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- List residents’ diets, allergies and portion needs
- Plan IDDSI-level meals with your own team
- Agree the plan with your kitchen and care team
- Check the spot with your manager
We set up before the mealtime, quietly.
Inviting families makes it even more special.
