About our care home fish and chips in Enfield
The van parks in the car park, on the drive or on a firm lawn, clear of ambulance access. On the menu are cod and chips, haddock and chips and gravy, and we’re regularly asked to cater birthday treats for residents and seaside days.
In Enfield, we park briefly in the home’s car park or drive. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

For planners, venues and organisers
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Space, access and the venue
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A spot residents can enjoy, inside or out
- Firm, level ground close to the home
- Light near the van after dark
Enfield is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Popular choices
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Gravy
- Pie and chips
The process
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. For a summer visit in Enfield, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden visits easy. In December, with dark by about 3:50pm, lunchtime is best.
- We start with the date, numbers and a serving time that suits the home.
- We check the parking spot and send a price.
- We agree portion sizes and any diets with your kitchen or care team.
- We serve hot from the hatch at the time the home chooses.
- We pack up quietly and leave the space tidy.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Let us know the serving time

About the food
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

Enfield questions
Can the van park in Enfield Town Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What’s the nearest station to Enfield?
Enfield has its own station: Enfield Town station.
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.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Where will the van park?
Wherever suits the home, as long as it’s level and safe; we will check access.
Can you do smaller portions for residents?
Tell us what you need and we will plan portion sizes with your team.
What about residents who don’t eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Can residents with special diets join in?
The home knows each resident best. Tell us about any diets and we’ll explain what we can offer; soft and texture-modified meals should come from your kitchen.
A chip van compared with other options
Next to a delivery order, the van cooks on site, so food is hot when it reaches residents. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Why book our van in Enfield
- Quick service from the hatch
- A quote that spells everything out
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- Something for residents to gather round
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
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 cooks in front of your residents instead.
- 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
