Care home fish and chips in London Fields, cooked to order
Many residents prefer smaller portions on a plate, and we plan that with you. We’re frequently asked to cater summer fêtes and open days and day centres and lunch clubs, serving cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
In London Fields, care homes generally have limited parking, so we agree a spot clear of ambulance access. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
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 solves that by cooking on site.
