Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Your kitchen could cook it, but a van makes it an event. 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. We set everything out in your quote.

About our care home fish and chips in Eastbury
Residents on soft or texture-modified diets need special care, which should come from the home’s own kitchen and care team. On the menu are gravy, pie and chips and cod and chips, and we’re often booked for sheltered housing get-togethers and residents’ family gatherings.
In Eastbury, care homes generally have limited parking, so we agree a spot clear of ambulance access. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

FAQs for Eastbury
Can the van park in King George V Playing Fields?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first.
What’s the nearest station to Eastbury?
The closest is Carpenders Park station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for residents are worth planning.

Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Do you cover Eastbury?
Yes, we do. Eastbury is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Agree numbers for residents, staff and families
- Fit the visit around routines
- Tell us about residents’ needs in writing
- Arrange plates and trays for residents inside
Staff carry plates to residents who can’t come outside, while it is hot.
Old seaside postcards and photos spark conversation.
What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Close to the garden or entrance
- Away from emergency access
- A level, firm spot such as the car park or drive
Eastbury 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’ll advise before booking.

Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
