Care home fish and chips for your care home visit in Eden Park
Staff get a break from the usual routine, and something to look forward to. On the menu are sausage and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for retirement housing and sheltered schemes and open days for families.
For a care home in Eden Park, a short stay in the car park works well. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Looking after everyone
Most events have a few residents with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Involve the kitchen and care team early
- Plan IDDSI-level meals with your own team
- Choose a spot away from ambulance routes
- Organise staff to carry food in
Visitors are welcome if included in numbers.
Seaside photos give people something to talk about.
Step by step
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. For a summer visit in Eden Park, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden visits easy. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for residents.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Give us a contact for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat

Where should the van go?
Your manager can choose the spot.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
Space, access and the venue
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
- Clear of ambulance access and emergency routes
- A route in without tight gates
As a London location, Eden Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
- 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
