A chip van near Hither Green
Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
About our care home fish and chips in Hither Green
Residents on soft or texture-modified diets need special care, which should come from the home’s own kitchen and care team, so everyone can share the occasion safely. Popular choices include cod and chips, pie and chips and gravy, and we’re frequently booked for lunch for the care team and care home summer fairs.
In Hither Green, we park briefly in the home’s car park or drive. We cook inside the van, right where your residents are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Planning the van’s spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Access the van can manage
- Close to the garden or entrance
- Away from emergency access
As a London location, Hither Green is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How it works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Residents typically gather round the hatch as soon as we open. In summer, Hither Green 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.
- 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 serve hot from the hatch at the time the home chooses.
- We clear up and leave the car park as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Clear the route for the van
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Share the timings for the day

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
