Care home fish and chips in Limmo Peninsula, fried fresh

Looking after everyone
Most events have a few residents with dietary needs. To look after them:

- Tell us about residents’ needs in writing
Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Inviting families makes it even more special.

A chip van compared with other options
Next to a delivery order, the van cooks on site, so food is hot when it reaches residents. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Why us?
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Something for residents to gather round
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site

Planning the van’s spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Firm, level ground close to the home
- A lit spot for evening service
- A route in without tight gates
As a London location, Limmo Peninsula is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
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.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Step by step
The first sign we’ve arrived is normally the smell, about the time the first residents wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. In summer, Limmo Peninsula has daylight until about 9:20pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for residents.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Clear the route for the van
How to get a price
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, use our quote form.

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How long we serve
- Access and parking
- The date and time of year
- Travel, tolls and road charges
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
What to tell us
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Where the event is
- Expected numbers
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, use our quote form.
