How our care home fish and chips works in Peckham Bush
Care homes, retirement housing and day centres all book visits, for one-off events and regular visits. Whether it’s lunch clubs and seaside days, we will put together a menu of pie and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
At a rural home near Peckham Bush, access matters so we can plan the route. We cook inside the van, right where your residents are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and children love it.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
What a fish and chip van costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How easy the site is to reach

Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Peckham Bush
How far is Peckham Bush from London?
Roughly 28 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Peckham Bush?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you cover Peckham Bush?
We do. Peckham Bush is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac residents in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
