How our care home fish and chips works in Hanworth
Many residents prefer smaller portions on a plate, and we plan that with you. Typical bookings include open days for families and seaside days, serving mushy peas, cod and chips and gravy.
Care homes in Hanworth often have a small car park or drive, so we agree a spot clear of ambulance access. We cook inside the van, right where your residents are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Taking residents out is a big undertaking. The van comes to the home. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
What you get with us
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Working with your venue
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.

London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.

That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.

A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your residents, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.

How it works
The first sign we’ve arrived is usually the smell. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. For a summer visit in Hanworth, 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.
- The home tells us the date, numbers for residents, staff and visitors, and the best time to serve.
- We check where the van can park and send a quote.
- We plan portions and dietary needs with the home.
- We park up and cook to order at mealtime.
- Afterwards, we pack up quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Share the timings for the day
