Care home fish and chips in Lambs Green
Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Lambs Green
Is Lambs Green close to London?
Roughly 27 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Lambs Green?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you park at the home?
In the car park or on the drive, away from ambulance routes.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac residents and we will explain the options.
Can families and staff eat too?
Yes, and families love joining in.

What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan.
The process
Here’s how the day generally runs: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. For a summer visit in Lambs Green, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

Nearby places to Lambs Green
What else we do in Lambs Green
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
How we price a fish and chip van visit
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Access and parking
- Service time
- How far we travel
- The day of the week
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
