Care home fish and chips in North Hyde, cooked to order
A regular visit gives everyone something to look forward to in the calendar. We’re often asked to cater lunch for the care team and summer fêtes and open days, serving cod and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas.
In North Hyde, we park briefly in the home’s car park or drive, as agreed with the manager. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your care home visit, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Step by step
Here’s how the day normally runs: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch when you are ready to eat. Sunset in North Hyde is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September; winter visits, dark by about 3:55pm, suit lunchtime.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for residents.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Tell us when you want to eat

What a fish and chip van costs
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- How many people are eating
- The menu and how many choices
- Whether a minimum applies
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Larger groups normally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes

Questions from North Hyde
Can the van park in Minet Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to North Hyde?
Southall station, about 1 mile north of the centre.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Are visitors included?
Yes. Just include them in your numbers.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Do you offer repeat visits?
Tell us how frequently you’d like a visit.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your residents, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Children typically love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
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 is fried on the spot.
Planning the van’s spot
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Away from bedroom windows
- Access the van can manage
- A lit spot for evening service
As a London location, North Hyde is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
