Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Heath End
Is Heath End close to London?

Do you come out to small places like Heath End?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What about residents on soft diets?
The home knows each resident best. Share the diets and we’ll say what we can do; soft and texture-modified meals should come from your kitchen.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
Do you cover Heath End?
We do. Heath End is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.

About our care home fish and chips in Heath End
Some residents need texture-modified food, which the home’s own team prepares or advises on. For care home summer fairs and birthday treats for residents, we’ll put together a menu of gravy, sausage and chips and mushy peas for your guests.

The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Heath End?
Your kitchen could cook it, but a van makes it an event. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
Why us?
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Quick service from the hatch
Planning for dietary needs

- Ask about smaller portions
- Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen

How it works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your residents can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. For a summer visit in Heath End, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:25pm, which makes garden visits easy. In winter, dark by about 4:00pm, a lunchtime visit is better.

- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
