Fresh fish and chips in Hampstead
Step by step
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. In summer, Hampstead has 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.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for residents.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Ensure the van can get in

How our care home fish and chips works in Hampstead
Smaller portions and plates with cutlery suit many residents. We serve pie and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for day centres and lunch clubs and fish and chip Fridays.
Care homes in Hampstead frequently have a small car park or drive, so we plan a spot that keeps emergency access clear. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will be straight with you about what we can do.

Where the van can park in Hampstead
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
- A route in without tight gates
- Not blocking ambulance bays
Hampstead 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.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Popular choices

For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

How we price a fish and chip van visit
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- Parking and the way in
- Whether a minimum applies
- The date and time of year
- The length of service
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.

You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Expected numbers
- Where you’d like the van to go
Each quote is put together for your care home visit. Start with your date, and we’ll check availability straight away.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
