How our care home fish and chips works in Gun Hill
The van parks in the car park, on the drive or on a firm lawn, away from emergency routes. We’re often asked to cater friday fish and chip treats and retirement housing and sheltered schemes, serving gravy, mushy peas and pie and chips.
Near Gun Hill, residents may not get out much, so a chip van visit is a special day. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
How the day works
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace. In summer, Gun Hill has daylight until about 9:15pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- It starts with your date, numbers and mealtime.
- We check the parking spot and send a price.
- We agree portion sizes and any diets with your kitchen or care team.
- We park up and cook to order at mealtime.
- We pack up quietly and leave the space tidy.
Before we arrive
