How our care home fish and chips works in Morden
Some residents come out to the van; others watch from inside, and families are welcome too. On the menu are haddock and chips, gravy and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for staff thank-you lunches at the home and summer fêtes and open days.
Care homes in Morden often have a small car park or drive, so we plan a spot that keeps emergency access clear. We cook inside the van, right where your residents are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
