About our care home fish and chips in Fitzrovia
Some residents come out to the van; others watch from inside, and families can join in. Typical bookings include day centres and lunch clubs and open days for families, serving sausage and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.
For a care home in Fitzrovia, a short stay in the car park works well, as agreed with the manager. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

Should I sort the food myself?

Fitzrovia 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.
