Care home fish and chips in Heston
Care home fish and chips in Heston, cooked to order
Your team knows your residents best, so we plan portion sizes, timings and diets with the home. For day centre treats and retirement housing and sheltered schemes, we can cook haddock and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas and more.
In Heston, we park briefly in the home’s car park or drive, as agreed with the manager. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- A level, firm spot such as the car park or drive
- Not right beside residents’ rooms
- Not blocking ambulance bays
As a London location, Heston is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Next to a delivery order, the van cooks on site, so it is not lukewarm by the time it’s plated. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

What happens on the day
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your residents can wander over to the hatch once service starts. Garden visits in Heston work best between late spring and early autumn, with sunset about 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September; in winter, keep it to lunchtime.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for residents.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Ensure the van can get in
