About our care home fish and chips in Chiswick
Some residents come out to the van; others watch from inside, and families can join in. Popular choices include pie and chips, gravy and haddock and chips, and we are frequently booked for care home summer fairs and care staff treats.
In Chiswick, care homes normally have limited parking, so we plan a spot that keeps emergency access clear. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

How it works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. In summer, Chiswick has daylight until about 9:20pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- We start with a few details about your care home visit.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for residents.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
How to prepare
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

How we price a fish and chip van visit
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- How many people are eating
- Whether a minimum applies
- Parking and the way in
- The date and time of year
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
What we need to know
The more we know about your care home visit, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A photo of the parking spot
- The spot you have in mind for the van

Planning the van’s spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- Lighting for later visits
- With the serving side away from windows
- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
As a London location, Chiswick is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
From the hatch
- Pie and chips
- Gravy
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
Perfect for your care home visit in Chiswick

Whatever the occasion in Chiswick, fish and chips from the hatch goes down well. We regularly serve:
- Lunch clubs
- A monthly fish and chip day
- Residents’ birthdays and anniversaries
- Seaside-themed afternoons
Some homes in Chiswick have links with a local church such as St. Nicholas Church, and a van visit can be part of a summer fête.

Chiswick questions
Could you trade in Turnham Green?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first.
What’s the nearest station to Chiswick?
Chiswick station, about 0.8 miles south-west of the centre.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Can residents with special diets join in?
Your care team knows each resident’s needs. Share the diets and we’ll say what we can do; texture-modified meals should be prepared or advised on by your own team.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Residents will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Plan how food reaches residents indoors
- Pick a time that suits the home’s day
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Plan it with your catering manager
Families can join in, with numbers agreed in advance.
A regular date gives everyone something to look forward to.
