Care home fish and chips for North Greenwich events
How it works
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Residents typically gather round the hatch as soon as we open. December visits in North Greenwich are best at lunchtime, as it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
How to get a price
Each quote is put together for your care home visit. Start with your date, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.

Care home fish and chips in North Greenwich, cooked to order
Some residents come out to the van; others watch from inside, and families are welcome too. Popular choices include haddock and chips, gravy and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for care home summer fairs and residents’ family gatherings.
In North Greenwich, we park briefly in the home’s car park or drive. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.

Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Agree the plan with your kitchen and care team
- Pick a time that suits the home’s day
- Arrange texture-modified meals from your own kitchen
- Plan how food reaches residents indoors
Visitors are welcome if included in numbers.
Inviting families makes it even more special.
Space, access and the venue
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Close to the garden or entrance
- Not blocking ambulance bays
- With the serving side away from windows
As a London location, North Greenwich is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
