Care home fish and chips in Horn Park
How it works

- The home tells us the date, numbers for residents, staff and visitors, and the best time to serve.
- You get an access check and a clear quote.
- Portions and diets are planned with your care team.
- We serve hot from the hatch at the time the home chooses.
- Afterwards, we pack up quietly.
How to prepare

- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

About our care home fish and chips in Horn Park
Some residents come out to the van; others watch from inside, and families can join in. For seaside days and lunch for the care team, we can cook mushy peas, haddock and chips and sausage and chips and more.
For a care home in Horn Park, a short stay in the car park works well, as agreed with the manager. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your care home visit, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Horn Park: care homes and access
Horn Park is about 1 mile west of Eltham, in Greater London. Anywhere in SE12, we will come to your venue, home or workplace. Horn Park is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover. Our nearest city page is London, about 6 miles away.
Residents who remember days out at Birdbrook Road Nature Reserve may enjoy talking about it over fish and chips. If your residents have links with Church of St Saviour, a fête or open day together is a nice moment for a van visit.
For care home visits in SE12, SE9 and SE3, we just need to know where the van can park. We can serve a care home visit on streets such as Winn Road, Horsa Road and Guibal Road or the roads around them, as long as there is somewhere for the van. Close by, we cover care home visits in Middle Park (1 mile east), Lee (1 mile north-west), Mottingham (1 mile south-east), Chinbrook (1 mile south) and Grove Park (1 mile south). Larger places within reach include London (6 miles north-west), City of Westminster (9 miles north-west), Marylebone (9 miles north-west), Kensington (10 miles west), St Pancras (8 miles north-west) and Shoreditch (7 miles north-west).

Organising for someone else?
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
A chip van compared with other options
Compared with a takeaway delivery, the van cooks on site, so food is hot when it reaches residents. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your care home visit.
Why book our van in Horn Park
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- No surprises in your quote
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather

Questions from Horn Park
Could you trade in Manor House Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first.
Is parking a problem for the van in Horn Park?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do you cover Horn Park?
We do. Horn Park is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for residents are worth planning.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
Are visitors included?
Of course. Add them to your numbers.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
About the food
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How long we serve
- The number of meals
- The day of the week
- Any minimum charge
Larger groups generally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Getting an accurate quote
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- The date and time of the event
- Roughly how many people, including children
- A picture of where the van would go
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
Send us the date, the address or SE12 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and you’ll get a clear price. Just fill in our quote form.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Choose a spot away from ambulance routes
- Plan IDDSI-level meals with your own team
- Share residents’ diets and allergies with us
- Count families who are joining in
We set up before the mealtime, quietly.
Families love being included.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
