About our care home fish and chips in East Molesey
We visit care homes, retirement housing, sheltered schemes and day centres. Typical bookings include retirement village events and day centres and lunch clubs, serving mushy peas, pie and chips and cod and chips.
Care homes around East Molesey are often in converted houses with a drive. Let us know about the way in. We cook inside the van, right where your residents are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
Why choose a fish and chip van in East Molesey?
Compared with a takeaway delivery, a van serves hot food on site, so food is hot when it reaches residents. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
About the food
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and children love it.

Common questions in East Molesey
Can the van park in Cigarette Island Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How far is East Molesey from London?
Roughly 13 miles from the centre of London.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can portions be smaller?
We will agree portion sizes with your kitchen or care team.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your residents, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
- 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
