Care home fish and chips for your care home visit in Muswell Hill

Common questions in Muswell Hill
Can the van park in Alexandra Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What about parking in Muswell Hill?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Can you park at the home?
Your manager can choose the spot; we will check access.
Can residents with special diets join in?
Yes, with meals for texture-modified diets from the home’s own kitchen, following their care plans.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, Greater London included. See all areas.
Can you do smaller portions for residents?
We’ll agree portion sizes with your kitchen or care team.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
About the food
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- Clear of ambulance access and emergency routes
- A route in without tight gates
- With the serving side away from windows
As a London location, Muswell Hill 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’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
