Care home fish and chips in Middlegreen, cooked to order
Some residents need texture-modified food, which should come from the home’s own kitchen and care team, so everyone can share the occasion safely. Popular choices include mushy peas, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and we are frequently booked for seaside-themed afternoons and care staff treats.
Near Middlegreen, residents may not get out much, so a chip van visit is a special day. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Middlegreen: your questions answered
How far is Middlegreen from London?
About 20 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the van park in Ditton Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Slough included. See all areas.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.

Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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.

The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Clear of ambulance access and emergency routes

Step by step
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. In summer, Middlegreen has daylight until about 9:25pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Preparing for the day
- Keep space clear for residents at the hatch
