Fresh fish and chips in Moorhouse Bank
Care home fish and chips in Moorhouse Bank, fried fresh
We park close to the entrance or garden, away from emergency routes. We’re often asked to cater birthday treats for residents and lunch for the care team, with sausage and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips.
In Moorhouse Bank, care homes usually have limited parking, so we agree a spot clear of ambulance access. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Planning the van’s spot
Every site is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Not right beside residents’ rooms
- Access the van can manage
- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
Moorhouse Bank is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: 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.

Moorhouse Bank questions
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is parking a problem for the van in Moorhouse Bank?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can the van come to Moorhouse Bank?
We do. We serve events in Moorhouse Bank and across Greater London. Send us your date to check availability.
Can staff have lunch from the van?
Yes. Just include them in your numbers.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
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 usually simpler.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The length of service
- Whether a minimum applies
- The date and time of year
- How far we travel
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is often the best value.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- A picture of the parking spot
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- The date and time of the event
- Rough numbers for adults and children
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will come back with a clear quote.
