Care home fish and chips in Covent Garden, cooked to order
Monthly or seasonal visits become a highlight. We’re frequently asked to cater fish and chip Fridays and seaside days, with mushy peas, pie and chips and sausage and chips.
In Covent Garden, care homes typically have limited parking, so we plan a spot that keeps emergency access clear. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

How it works
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Your residents can wander over to the hatch once service starts. In Covent Garden, the garden season runs from late May, with light until about 8:50pm, to late September, around 7:05pm.
- The home tells us the date, numbers for residents, staff and visitors, and the best time to serve.
- We check where the van can park and send a quote.
- Portions and diets are planned with your care team.
- On the day we set up and fry fresh, serving at the agreed time.
- We clear up and leave the car park as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Covent Garden questions
Could you trade in Victoria Embankment Gardens?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Covent Garden?
Covent Garden has its own station: London Charing Cross station.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac residents and we’ll explain the options.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.

The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
What the van needs
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Access the van can manage
- Not right beside residents’ rooms
- Firm, level ground close to the home
Covent Garden is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
