How our care home fish and chips works in Newington Green
The care team knows each resident’s needs, so we plan portion sizes, timings and diets with the home. On the menu are sausage and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas, and we are regularly asked to cater visiting days and day centre treats.
In Newington Green, we park briefly in the home’s car park or drive, as agreed with the manager. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Questions from Newington Green
Could you trade in Highbury Fields?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first.
Is parking a problem for the van in Newington Green?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
Do you offer repeat visits?
Yes, ask us about regular dates.
Can portions be smaller?
Portion sizes are agreed in advance.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac residents when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
What about residents on soft diets?
Your care team knows each resident’s needs. Tell us about any diets and we’ll explain what we can offer; soft and texture-modified meals should come from your kitchen.
How the day works
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we are hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. In Newington Green, the garden season runs from late May, with light until about 8:50pm, to late September, around 7:05pm; in winter, keep it to lunchtime.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
How to prepare
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Clear the route for the van

Space, access and the venue
We will be honest if a spot will not work, and help find another. The main points are:
- Away from emergency access
- Close to the garden or entrance
- A level parking spot near the entrance
As a London location, Newington Green is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

For event organisers in Newington Green
Organising a club, school or community event in Newington Green? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Agree numbers for residents, staff and families
- Plan IDDSI-level meals with your own team
- Plan it with your catering manager
- Let us know if smaller portions suit
We serve at the time the home chooses, around meals and medication.
Make it a regular event.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Taking residents out is a big undertaking. The van comes to the home. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your care home visit is.
