About the food
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger residents and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
About our care home fish and chips in Cheam
Smaller portions and plates with cutlery suit many residents. On the menu are sausage and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater family days and themed afternoons.
In Cheam, we park briefly in the home’s car park or drive, as agreed with the manager. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Is a fish and chip van right for your care home visit?
The home’s kitchen can make fish and chips, but a van turns it into an occasion. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.

Cheam: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Cheam?
The closest is Cheam station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
What about parking in Cheam?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
Do you do regular visits?
We’re happy to talk about repeat visits.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
How it works
Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Sunset in Cheam is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September; for winter visits, choose lunchtime.
- It starts with your date, numbers and mealtime.
- We check where the van can park and send a quote.
- We plan portions and dietary needs with the home.
- On the day we set up and fry fresh, serving at the agreed time.
- We clear up and leave the car park as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
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.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
