Care home fish and chips in Edgware, fried fresh
Your team knows your residents best, so we work with the home on portions and diets. We are frequently asked to cater lunch clubs and friday fish and chip treats, with cod and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
In Edgware, care homes usually have limited parking, so we agree a spot clear of ambulance access. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

How it works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served. In Edgware, late spring and early autumn evenings stay light until about 8:55pm and 7:05pm; for winter visits, choose lunchtime.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for residents.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Share the timings for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

About the food
Sausage and chips

Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Is a fish and chip van right for your care home visit?
Entertainers and activities are great; a van visit combines a meal with an activity. Larger groups typically cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why book with us
- Something for residents to gather round
- Hot food handed straight over
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
Take a look at how we price and our guide to van hire costs.
Before you choose a spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A route in without tight gates
- Firm, level ground close to the home
- Not right beside residents’ rooms
As a London location, Edgware 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.
Popular choices

Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
