How our care home fish and chips works in Clapham Junction
The care team knows each resident’s needs, so we plan portion sizes, timings and diets with the home. For residents’ birthdays and anniversaries and fish and chip Fridays, we can cook mushy peas, sausage and chips and cod and chips for your guests.
In Clapham Junction, care homes generally have limited parking, so we plan a spot that keeps emergency access clear. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your care home visit, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Plan portion sizes with us
- List residents’ diets, allergies and portion needs
- Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen
- Fit the visit around routines
Service fits around the home’s routines.
Music from the 1950s and 60s sets the mood.
For event organisers in Clapham Junction
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
The process
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. For a summer visit in Clapham Junction, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- The home tells us the date, numbers for residents, staff and visitors, and the best time to serve.
- You get an access check and a clear quote.
- We plan portions and dietary needs with the home.
- We park up and cook to order at mealtime.
- We clear up and leave the car park as we found it.
How to prepare

- Plan where the queue will stand
