Care home fish and chips in Chelsea Harbour
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
Care home fish and chips in Chelsea Harbour, cooked to order
Care homes, retirement housing and day centres all book visits. Typical bookings include residents’ birthdays and anniversaries and friday fish and chip treats, serving haddock and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips.
In Chelsea Harbour, care homes generally have limited parking, so we agree a spot clear of ambulance access. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it’s hot, crisp and generous.

The price comes down to a few factors:
- Access and parking
- How many people are eating
- Cod, haddock or both
- Distance and any road charges
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your care home visit is.
