Care home fish and chips in East Village, cooked to order
Staff get a break from the usual routine, and something to look forward to. On the menu are mushy peas, sausage and chips and cod and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater care staff treats and seaside days.
Care homes in East Village frequently have a small car park or drive, so we agree a spot clear of ambulance access. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

FAQs for East Village
What about parking in East Village?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
Can the van park in Mabley Green?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Can residents with special diets join in?
Yes, with meals for texture-modified diets from the home’s own kitchen, following their care plans.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.

What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Access and parking
- How long we serve
- Cod, haddock or both
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
What we need to know
The more we know about your care home visit, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The venue or postcode
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A lit spot for evening service
- Access the van can manage
- Firm, level ground close to the home
East Village 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.
