Care home fish and chips in Kevington, cooked to order
We park close to the entrance or garden, away from emergency routes. Popular choices include sausage and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas, and we are frequently booked for sheltered housing get-togethers and seaside days.
In Kevington, we park briefly in the home’s car park or drive. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your care home visit, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Planners, venues and businesses
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Kevington? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Planning the van’s spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Light near the van after dark
- A level parking spot near the entrance
- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
Kevington 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
On the menu in Kevington
- Cod and chips
- Gravy
- Mushy peas

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Choose a time around meals and medication
- Organise staff to carry food in
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Choose a spot away from ambulance routes
Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Music from the 1950s and 60s sets the mood.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a takeaway delivery, a van serves hot food on site, so it isn’t lukewarm by the time it’s plated. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your care home visit.
Why Kevington hosts choose us
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Hot food handed straight over

Kevington questions
Is parking a problem for the van in Kevington?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Can the van park on grass?
Usually, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
The process
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. For a summer visit in Kevington, 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.
- 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.
Preparing for the day

- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Let us know the serving time
Getting a price
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
