How our care home fish and chips works in Earl's Court
Monthly or seasonal visits become a highlight. We are often asked to cater staff thank-you lunches at the home and seaside days, serving sausage and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas.
Care homes in Earl's Court frequently have a small car park or drive, so we agree a spot clear of ambulance access. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Earl's Court
Could you trade in Gwendwr Garden?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first.
Is parking a problem for the van in Earl's Court?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Are visitors included?
Yes. Add them to your numbers.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Is grass a problem?
Typically, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for residents.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Away from emergency access
- Not right beside residents’ rooms
- Light near the van after dark
As a London location, Earl's Court is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Planning help
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. 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.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
