About our care home fish and chips in Church End

The care team knows each resident’s needs, so we plan portion sizes, timings and diets with the home. For open days for families and a monthly fish and chip day, we can cook haddock and chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips.

In Church End, we park briefly in the home’s car park or drive. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Gravy

Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.

Looking after everyone

Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:

  • Ask about smaller portions
  • Plan IDDSI-level meals with your own team
  • Agree numbers for residents, staff and families
  • Share residents’ diets and allergies with us

When everyone has eaten, we pack up.

Takeaway run or book a van?

Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.

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.

FAQs for Church End

Is parking a problem for the van in Church End?

London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.

Which station is closest to Church End?

Harlesden station, about 0.7 miles south-west of the centre.

There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.

What areas do you cover?

London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Church End.

Is grass a problem?

Usually, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

Can staff have lunch from the van?

Yes, and families love joining in.

What do you bring?

We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.

The process

It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss. In summer, Church End has daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden visits easy. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.

  1. First, the plan: what, where and what time.
  2. We come back with availability and a clear price.
  3. The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
  4. On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
  5. The pitch is left tidy when we go.

Preparing for the day

  • Choose a level, firm spot for the van
  • Get permission for the van from the venue
  • Plan where the queue will stand

For planners, venues and organisers

Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.

If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.

Planning the van’s spot

If a spot is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and help find another. The main points are:

  • Away from emergency access
  • A level parking spot near the entrance
  • A route in without tight gates

Church End is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
