Fresh fish and chips in Earlsfield

Before you choose a spot

Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:

  • A spot residents can enjoy, inside or out
  • Firm, level ground close to the home
  • Away from bedroom windows

Earlsfield 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.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

From the hatch

  • Cod and chips
  • Mushy peas
  • Haddock and chips
  • Sausage and chips
  • Pie and chips

Care home fish and chips in Earlsfield, fried fresh

Smaller portions and plates with cutlery suit many residents, and we plan that with you. For lunch clubs and fish and chip Fridays, we’ll put together a menu of haddock and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.

Care homes in Earlsfield frequently have a small car park or drive, so we agree a spot clear of ambulance access. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Earlsfield?

Taking residents out is a big undertaking. A van brings the treat to them. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.

What you get with us

  • A quote that spells everything out
  • Quick service from the hatch
  • Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
  • The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy

See our prices page or the cost guide.

For event organisers in Earlsfield

For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.

How the day works

Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. Afterwards we pack up. In summer, Earlsfield has daylight until about 9:20pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.

  1. You share your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check access for the van and quote.
  3. We arrive in good time to set up.
  4. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
  5. We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.

Before we arrive

  • Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
  • Confirm the van is allowed on site
  • Let us know the serving time

Getting a price

Send us the date, the address or SW18 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and we’ll reply with a quote. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.

Common questions in Earlsfield

Is parking a problem for the van in Earlsfield?

London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.

Can the van park in King George's Park?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first.

Can residents with special diets join in?

Yes: residents on soft diets can share the occasion with meals from your kitchen, following their care plans.

What food do you serve?

Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.

How much is fish and chip van hire?

It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.

Do we need to provide anything?

Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will take it from there.

Do you have allergen information?

We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.

Does the batter contain gluten?

Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac residents in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.

What comes out of the fryer

Mushy peas

Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.

Curry sauce

The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
