How our care home fish and chips works in Northolt
Your team knows your residents best, so we plan portion sizes, timings and diets with the home. Whether it’s a monthly fish and chip day and themed afternoons, we’ll put together a menu of sausage and chips, gravy and cod and chips.
Care homes in Northolt often have a small car park or drive, so we agree a spot clear of ambulance access. Everything is fried fresh at your care home visit, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

The process
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. In Northolt, the garden season runs from late May, with light until about 8:55pm, to late September, around 7:05pm; in winter, keep it to lunchtime.
- The home tells us the date, numbers for residents, staff and visitors, and the best time to serve.
- You get an access check and a clear quote.
- We agree portion sizes and any diets with your kitchen or care team.
- We serve hot from the hatch at the time the home chooses.
- Afterwards, we pack up quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Make sure the van can get in
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

About the food
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Working with your venue
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- How many people are eating
- Cod, haddock or both
- Parking and the way in
- The day of the week

What the van needs
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
- Away from bedroom windows
- A level parking spot near the entrance
As a London location, Northolt is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

Common questions in Northolt
What about parking in Northolt?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
Could you trade in Northala Fields?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
Do you cover Northolt?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Northolt is within our area. For a quote, use our quote form.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Residents will appreciate cover near the hatch.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
Can residents with special diets join in?
Yes, with meals for texture-modified diets from the home’s own kitchen, following their care plans.
Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Ask about smaller portions
- Plan how food reaches residents indoors
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Share residents’ diets and allergies with us
Visitors are welcome if included in numbers.
