About our care home fish and chips in Lee
We park close to the entrance or garden, away from emergency routes. Typical bookings include staff thank-you lunches at the home and retirement village events, serving gravy, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
Care homes in Lee often have a small car park or drive, so we agree a spot clear of ambulance access. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

What a fish and chip van costs
We will give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- Whether a minimum applies
- The length of service
- Your choice of menu
- Access and parking
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The date and time of the event
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Each quote is put together for your care home visit. Start with your date, and we will check availability right away.
Food your guests will love
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Step by step
Changes on the day are fine: we’ll adjust start times and pace to suit your care home visit. Garden visits in Lee work best between late spring and early autumn, with sunset about 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Have a level parking spot ready

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
