Care home fish and chips in Hoxton, fried fresh
Care homes, retirement housing and day centres all book visits. For retirement housing and sheltered schemes and fish and chip Fridays, we can cook sausage and chips, haddock and chips and gravy.
In Hoxton, care homes typically have limited parking, so we agree a spot clear of ambulance access. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Plan portion sizes with us
- List residents’ diets, allergies and portion needs
- Keep the van clear of emergency access
- Plan IDDSI-level meals with your own team
When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
A bit of music from residents’ younger days helps.
How it works
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. For a summer visit in Hoxton, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden visits easy. 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.
- You get an access check and a clear quote.
- We plan portions and dietary needs with the home.
- We park up and cook to order at mealtime.
- We pack up quietly and leave the space tidy.
How to prepare
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Clear the route for the van

Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Hoxton
What about parking in Hoxton?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
Could you trade in Shoreditch Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
Do you offer repeat visits?
We are happy to talk about repeat visits.
What can residents choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for residents are worth planning.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.
Can the van park on grass?
Usually, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.

Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Where the van can park in Hoxton
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- With the serving side away from windows
- A level parking spot near the entrance
- A route in without tight gates
Hoxton is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
