About our care home fish and chips in Lissenden Gardens
Many residents prefer smaller portions on a plate, and we plan that with you. For visiting days and lunch clubs, we can cook haddock and chips, pie and chips and gravy.
In Lissenden Gardens, care homes usually have limited parking, so we plan a spot that keeps emergency access clear. Everything is fried fresh at your care home visit, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

Lissenden Gardens: your questions answered
Is parking a problem for the van in Lissenden Gardens?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
Can the van park in Parliament Hill?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Can you park at the home?
In the car park or on the drive, away from ambulance routes.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Residents will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Count families who are joining in
- Tell us about residents’ needs in writing
- Plan portion sizes with us
- Pick a time that suits the home’s day
When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
Seaside photos give people something to talk about.
Space, access and the venue
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A level, firm spot such as the car park or drive
- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
- Clear of ambulance access and emergency routes
Lissenden Gardens is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
