Care home fish and chips in Dollis Hill, fried fresh
The care team knows each resident’s needs, so we work with the home on portions and diets. For open days for families and staff thank-you lunches at the home, we’ll put together a menu of haddock and chips, gravy and pie and chips.
In Dollis Hill, care homes normally have limited parking, so we agree a spot clear of ambulance access. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Before you choose a spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A level, firm spot such as the car park or drive
- Not blocking ambulance bays
- Access the van can manage
Dollis Hill is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen
- Count families who are joining in
- Plan it with your catering manager
- Choose a time around meals and medication
Food for residents indoors goes straight in on plates, while it is hot.
Bunting, deckchairs and a seaside theme make it an occasion.
About the food
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.

- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for residents.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Plan where the queue will stand

Organising for someone else?
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.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
