Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.

About our care home fish and chips in Northfleet
Residents on soft or texture-modified diets need special care, which the home’s own team prepares or advises on. We serve sausage and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater residents’ birthdays and anniversaries and friday fish and chip treats.
In a town like Northfleet, care homes, sheltered housing and day centres all book visits. The van parks in the car park or on the drive. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before booking.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Choose a time around meals and medication
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Let us know if smaller portions suit
- Arrange texture-modified meals from your own kitchen
We arrive in good time to park and heat the fryers, quietly.
Bunting, deckchairs and a seaside theme make it an occasion.
Perfect for your care home visit in Northfleet
It’s food residents know and enjoy for most residents.
If you’re planning any of these, we can help:
- Lunch clubs
- Summer fêtes and open days
- Residents’ celebrations
- Seaside days
A care home summer fair, perhaps with a church like Church of All Saints, is a good occasion for a van visit.

Questions from Northfleet
Can the van park in Northfleet Urban Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first.
How far is Northfleet from London?
Roughly 20 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
Do you cover Northfleet?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Northfleet and across Kent. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you offer repeat visits?
Tell us how frequently you’d like a visit.
Space, access and the venue
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Away from emergency access
- Firm, level ground close to the home
- A clear way in for the van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.
