Care home fish and chips in Farringdon, cooked to order
Residents on soft or texture-modified diets need special care, which the home’s own team prepares or advises on. We are frequently asked to cater care home summer fairs and friday fish and chip treats, serving cod and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips.
In Farringdon, we park briefly in the home’s car park or drive. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the date, the service time and the menu.

What happens on the day
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Residents will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. In Farringdon, late spring and early autumn evenings stay light until about 8:50pm and 7:05pm; winter visits, dark by about 3:55pm, suit lunchtime.

- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.

Planning help
Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Common questions in Farringdon
Which station is closest to Farringdon?
Farringdon station, in Farringdon itself.
Can the van park in Barbican Conservatory?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Are visitors included?
Yes. Just include them in your numbers.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for residents are worth planning.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few residents with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Plan how food reaches residents indoors
- Choose a spot away from ambulance routes
- Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen
- Pick a time that suits the home’s day
Residents in their rooms get food on a covered tray straight away.
Bunting, deckchairs and a seaside theme make it an occasion.
