A chip van near Grahame Park
How our care home fish and chips works in Grahame Park
Some residents come out to the van; others watch from inside, and families can join in. We serve gravy, mushy peas and pie and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater friday fish and chip treats and day centre treats.
For a care home in Grahame Park, a short stay in the car park works well. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

About the food
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order.
How the day works
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can get on with your care home visit in Grahame Park. In Grahame Park, the garden season runs from late May, with light until about 8:55pm, to late September, around 7:05pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.

Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- The date and time of year
- How many people are eating
- How long we serve
- Your choice of menu
The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Expected numbers
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.

Organising for someone else?
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
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 solves that by cooking on site.
