About our care home fish and chips in Northwood
Residents can watch from the window or come out to the hatch, and families can join in. We are often asked to cater lunch for the care team and seaside-themed afternoons, serving mushy peas, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
Care homes in Northwood often have a small car park or drive, so we agree a spot clear of ambulance access. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer before booking.

Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
What happens on the day
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. December visits in Northwood are best at lunchtime, as it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

What the van needs
We will be honest if a spot will not work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- A level parking spot near the entrance
- Light near the van after dark
- With the serving side away from windows
As a London location, Northwood is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
On the menu in Northwood
- Pie and chips
- Gravy
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How many people are eating
- The day of the week
- The length of service
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
