Fresh fish and chips in Mile End
Planning the van’s spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A spot residents can enjoy, inside or out
- A lit spot for evening service
- Clear of ambulance access and emergency routes
As a London location, Mile End is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

For a care home in Mile End, a short stay in the car park works well. Everything is fried fresh at your care home visit, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

Questions from Mile End
Can the van park in Mile End Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Mile End?
Limehouse station, about 0.9 miles south of the centre.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac residents in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
What about residents who do not eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
Can you come every month?
Ask us about repeat dates when you enquire.
Do you cover Mile End?
We do. Mile End is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.

Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
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.
Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Ask about smaller portions
- Agree the plan with your kitchen and care team
- List residents’ diets, allergies and portion needs
- Keep the van clear of emergency access
Residents in their rooms get food on a covered tray right away.
A seaside theme with bunting adds to the fun.
