How our care home fish and chips works in Lambeth

What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The length of service
- Numbers
- Your choice of menu
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your care home visit is.
Getting an accurate quote
To speed things up, tell us:
- A picture of the space and the way in
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Where the van would park
- Rough numbers for adults and children
It is easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Where the van can park in Lambeth
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Not right beside residents’ rooms
- A level parking spot near the entrance
- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
As a London location, Lambeth is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Old photos of St. James's Park Lake can spark conversation during a van visit. The A3203 and A3204 make Lambeth a simple journey for the van.
We cover care home visits in every part of the SE11, SW1P and SW8 postcode area. Local streets include Gibson Road, Langley Lane and Randall Road; a care home visit on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. Lambeth is on the A3203 and A3204, which makes the journey straightforward.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Arrange texture-modified meals from your own kitchen
- Share residents’ diets and allergies with us
- Plan how food reaches residents indoors
- Keep the van clear of emergency access
We serve at the time the home chooses, around meals and medication.
A seaside theme with bunting adds to the fun.
Questions from Lambeth
Could you trade in Old Paradise Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Lambeth?
Lambeth has its own station: Vauxhall station.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Do you offer repeat visits?
We are happy to talk about repeat visits.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac residents when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for residents.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
For planners, venues and organisers
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
