How our care home fish and chips works in Chislehurst
Your team knows your residents best, so we work with the home on portions and diets. We serve sausage and chips, pie and chips and cod and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater a monthly fish and chip day and sheltered housing get-togethers.
In Chislehurst, care homes usually have limited parking, so we plan a spot that keeps emergency access clear. Everything is fried fresh at your care home visit, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Common questions in Chislehurst
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
What about parking in Chislehurst?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
Can you come every month?
Tell us how often you’d like a visit.
Can the van come to Chislehurst?
We do. We serve events in Chislehurst and across Greater London. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Chislehurst.
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.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for residents.
Where the van can park in Chislehurst
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A level parking spot near the entrance
- Not right beside residents’ rooms
- A spot residents can enjoy, inside or out
As a London location, Chislehurst is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
For event organisers in Chislehurst
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.

Why Chislehurst hosts choose us
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones

The process
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Residents typically gather round the hatch as soon as we open. For a summer visit in Chislehurst, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden visits easy. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for residents.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Make sure the van can get in
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Get permission for the van from the venue
