Care home fish and chips for your care home visit in Mayfair
For many residents, fish and chips brings back seaside trips and Friday nights. A van in the car park makes mealtime an occasion. We serve haddock and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for lunch clubs and a monthly fish and chip day.
In Mayfair, we park briefly in the home’s car park or drive, as agreed with the manager. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

Mayfair: care homes and access
Mayfair is about 1 mile south-east of City of Westminster, in Greater London. Tell us where your care home visit in Mayfair will be, and we’ll plan the route and the parking spot. We take the van to 764 places across Greater London.
St. James's Park Lake is close by, a good starting point for a chat about days out. Some homes in Mayfair have links with a local church such as Grosvenor Chapel, and a van visit can be part of a summer fête.
Care home visits anywhere in W1K, W1F and W1U start with a parking spot for the van. Your care home visit could be at a house on Park Lane, Bruton Lane and Market Mews or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere for the van. Mayfair is on the A4201 and A4202, so it’s easy for us to reach with the van.

The process
The first sign we have arrived is typically the smell, about the time the first residents wander across. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. In Mayfair, the garden season runs from late May, with light until about 8:50pm, to late September, around 7:05pm; in winter, keep it to lunchtime.
- We start with the date, numbers and a serving time that suits the home.
- We check the parking spot and send a price.
- Portions and diets are planned with your care team.
- We serve hot from the hatch at the time the home chooses.
- We pack up quietly and leave the space tidy.
Before we arrive
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Give us a contact for the day
- Make sure the van can get in

DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
