About our care home fish and chips in Gordon Hill
The care team knows each resident’s needs, so we plan portion sizes, timings and diets with the home. Popular choices include sausage and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for day centres and lunch clubs and care staff treats.
In Gordon Hill, care homes normally have limited parking, so we agree a spot clear of ambulance access. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Planning help
Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
A chip van compared with other options
Next to a delivery order, the van cooks on site, so it is not lukewarm by the time it is plated. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.

Space, access and the venue
If a spot isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Not right beside residents’ rooms
- Close to the garden or entrance
- A level parking spot near the entrance
As a London location, Gordon Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Choose a time around meals and medication
- Involve the kitchen and care team early
- Arrange plates and trays for residents inside
- Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen
Staff carry plates to residents who can’t come outside.
Music from the 1950s and 60s sets the mood.

Gordon Hill: your questions answered
Is parking a problem for the van in Gordon Hill?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
Can the van park in Enfield Town Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Can everyone take part?
Your care team knows each resident’s needs. Share the diets and we will say what we can do; soft and texture-modified meals should come from your kitchen.
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. If in doubt, send a picture.
What a fish and chip van costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- The menu and how many choices
- Service time
- Whether a minimum applies
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.

- Expected numbers
