Care home fish and chips in Middle Park, fried fresh
Monthly or seasonal visits become a highlight. Typical bookings include lunch clubs and staff thank-you lunches at the home, with mushy peas, cod and chips and pie and chips.
In Middle Park, care homes usually have limited parking, so we plan a spot that keeps emergency access clear. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Where the van can park in Middle Park
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
- Light near the van after dark
- Not right beside residents’ rooms
As a London location, Middle Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

How the day works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. In Middle Park, late spring and early autumn evenings stay light until about 8:50pm and 7:05pm; for winter visits, choose lunchtime.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Keep space clear for residents at the hatch

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Distance and any road charges
- How easy the site is to reach
- The minimum booking
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

About the food
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.

Middle Park questions
Can the van park in Horn Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What about parking in Middle Park?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Can you do smaller portions for residents?
We will agree portion sizes with your kitchen or care team.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Do you do regular visits?
We’re happy to talk about repeat visits.
Do you cover Middle Park?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Middle Park is within our area and the rest of Greater London. To check your date, use our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Pick a time that suits the home’s day
- Count families who are joining in
- Plan IDDSI-level meals with your own team
- Choose a spot away from ambulance routes
When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
Families love being included.
