How our care home fish and chips works in Ealing
Residents can watch from the window or come out to the hatch, and families can join in. Whether it is birthday treats for residents and open days for families, we can cook pie and chips, cod and chips and gravy.
In Ealing, we park briefly in the home’s car park or drive. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

What a fish and chip van costs
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- How many people are eating
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The minimum booking
- The day of the week
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
Details that help
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Where the event is
- A photo of the space and the way in
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the van would park
Still finalising the details? No problem: tell us the basics about your care home visit, and we will firm it up nearer the time. To start, send us your details through our quote form.

Entertainers and activities are great; a van visit combines a meal with an activity. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

FAQs for Ealing
Could you trade in Walpole Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first.
Which station is closest to Ealing?
Ealing Broadway station, about 0.5 miles north-east of the centre.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac residents in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your residents, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Can portions be smaller?
Portion sizes are agreed in advance.
How it works
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can get on with your care home visit. In summer, Ealing 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.

Planning help
Before you choose a spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- Lighting for later visits
- Away from emergency access
- Close to the garden or entrance
As a London location, Ealing is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
