About the food

Sausage and chips

For anyone who does not fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and it is a favourite with children.

Mushy peas

Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.

About our care home fish and chips in Chadwell Heath

A regular visit gives everyone something to look forward to in the calendar. On the menu are cod and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas, and we’re regularly asked to cater seaside-themed afternoons and residents’ birthdays and anniversaries.

For a care home in Chadwell Heath, a short stay in the car park works well, as agreed with the manager. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

When everyone has eaten, we pack up.

Choosing a fish and chip van

Planners, venues and businesses

If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.

Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.

Takeaway run or book a van?

Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.

Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.

What the van needs

Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:

  • Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
  • Away from emergency access
  • Away from bedroom windows

As a London location, Chadwell Heath is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

What happens on the day

We work to your timings. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. In Chadwell Heath, the garden season runs from late May, with light until about 8:50pm, to late September, around 7:05pm.

  1. Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
  2. A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
  3. A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
  4. The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for residents.
  5. Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
