Care home fish and chips for your care home visit in Harrow
The van parks in the car park, on the drive or on a firm lawn, clear of ambulance access. Typical bookings include a monthly fish and chip day and sheltered housing get-togethers, serving gravy, haddock and chips and pie and chips.

Organising for someone else?

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Organise staff to carry food in
- Keep the van clear of emergency access
- Ask about smaller portions
- Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen

Make it a regular event.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
