Care home fish and chips in Gunnersbury, cooked to order
Care homes, retirement housing and day centres all book visits. On the menu are pie and chips, sausage and chips and gravy, and typical bookings are for lunch for the care team and retirement village events.
In Gunnersbury, care homes generally have limited parking, so we agree a spot clear of ambulance access. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Planners, venues and businesses
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Step by step
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. For a summer visit in Gunnersbury, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Keep space clear for residents at the hatch

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The day of the week
- The menu and how many choices
- Any minimum charge
- How easy the site is to reach
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Details that help
For a quote, it helps to have:
- A picture of where the van would go
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Expected numbers
- Where you’d like the van to go
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.
Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and it’s a favourite with children.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.

Questions from Gunnersbury
What about parking in Gunnersbury?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
Can the van park in Turnham Green?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children typically love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
