About our care home fish and chips in Old Chiswick
Residents on soft or texture-modified diets need special care, which should come from the home’s own kitchen and care team. We serve haddock and chips, gravy and cod and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater retirement housing and sheltered schemes and residents’ family gatherings.
Care homes in Old Chiswick often have a small car park or drive, so we agree a spot clear of ambulance access. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- A spot residents can enjoy, inside or out
- Lighting for later visits
- Clear of ambulance access and emergency routes
Old Chiswick is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. For a summer visit in Old Chiswick, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden visits easy. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.

- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
