About our care home fish and chips in Maida Vale
The care team knows each resident’s needs, so we work with the home on portions and diets. For family days and sheltered housing get-togethers, we’ll put together a menu of pie and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips and more.
In Maida Vale, care homes normally have limited parking, so we plan a spot that keeps emergency access clear. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what we can do before booking.

What the van needs
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Away from bedroom windows
- Access the van can manage
- A level parking spot near the entrance
As a London location, Maida Vale is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: 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.

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The date and time of year
- Service time
- Your choice of menu
- The number of meals
There is 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. Your quote spells it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The venue or postcode
Send us the date, the address or W9 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and we’ll reply with a quote. Just use our quote form.

Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Fit the visit around routines
- Count families who are joining in
- Share residents’ diets and allergies with us
- Check the spot with your manager
Staff carry plates to residents who cannot come outside.
Bunting, deckchairs and a seaside theme make it an occasion.
The process
We don’t cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. Garden visits in Maida Vale work best between late spring and early autumn, with sunset about 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September; in winter, keep it to lunchtime.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
