How our care home fish and chips works in Little Chelsea
Your team knows your residents best, so we plan portion sizes, timings and diets with the home. On the menu are cod and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater fish and chip Fridays and residents’ family gatherings.
Care homes in Little Chelsea often have a small car park or drive, so we agree a spot clear of ambulance access. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Before you choose a spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A lit spot for evening service
- A route in without tight gates
- Not right beside residents’ rooms
Little Chelsea is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The date and time of year
- Parking and the way in
- Numbers
- The length of service
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is often the best value.

Questions from Little Chelsea
Is parking a problem for the van in Little Chelsea?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
Which station is closest to Little Chelsea?
The closest is Imperial Wharf station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Residents will appreciate cover near the hatch.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.
Does the batter contain gluten?
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.
Are visitors included?
Yes. Add them to your numbers.

The menu, dish by dish
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.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Planners, venues and businesses
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
What happens on the day
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. In summer, Little Chelsea has daylight until about 9:20pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Tell us when you want to eat

A chip van compared with other options
Compared with a takeaway delivery, the van cooks on site, so food is hot when it reaches residents. Larger groups generally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
