Care home fish and chips for your care home visit in Northumberland Heath

- Pick a time that suits the home’s day
- Plan IDDSI-level meals with your own team
- Choose a spot away from ambulance routes
- List residents’ diets, allergies and portion needs
Visitors are welcome if included in numbers.

Common questions in Northumberland Heath
What’s the nearest station to Northumberland Heath?
The closest is Barnehurst station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Can the van park in Braeburn Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Northumberland Heath.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Residents will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Can the van come to Northumberland Heath?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Northumberland Heath. To check your date, use our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
What affects the price in Northumberland Heath
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Service time
- Access and parking
- How far we travel
- Numbers
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The address or venue name
Still finalising the details? No problem: tell us the basics about your care home visit, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. Start when you are ready: send us your details through our quote form.
A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Before you choose a spot
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Lighting for later visits
- Away from bedroom windows
- Close to the garden or entrance
As a London location, Northumberland Heath is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we serve
- Haddock and chips
- Gravy
- Pie and chips
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
How the day works
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. Sunset in Northumberland Heath is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September; winter visits, dark by about 3:50pm, suit lunchtime.
