A chip van near Palmers Green
Care home fish and chips in Palmers Green, fried fresh
Some residents come out to the van; others watch from inside, and families are welcome too. We are frequently asked to cater retirement housing and sheltered schemes and care home summer fairs, serving sausage and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
In Palmers Green, we park briefly in the home’s car park or drive, as agreed with the manager. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.

How we price a fish and chip van visit
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- How many people are eating
- The menu and how many choices
- The day of the week
- Any minimum charge
The cost per head generally 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.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Your date and serving time
- A picture of where the van would go
- The address or venue name
- Where the van would park
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and we’ll reply with a quote. Just fill in our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Space, access and the venue
If a spot isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- A level, firm spot such as the car park or drive
- Not right beside residents’ rooms
- A spot residents can enjoy, inside or out
As a London location, Palmers Green is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
