Care home fish and chips for your care home visit in Hounslow
Your team knows your residents best, so we plan portion sizes, timings and diets with the home. Popular choices include gravy, haddock and chips and mushy peas, and we are regularly asked to cater seaside-themed afternoons and open days for families.
In Hounslow, we park briefly in the home’s car park or drive. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

FAQs for Hounslow
Could you trade in Sunbury Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first.
Is parking a problem for the van in Hounslow?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Children usually love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Do you do regular visits?
Ask us about repeat dates when you enquire.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.

The process
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. For a summer visit in Hounslow, residents can enjoy the garden in 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.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
