Care home fish and chips in Putney, cooked to order
Residents on soft or texture-modified diets need special care, which should come from the home’s own kitchen and care team. We serve mushy peas, gravy and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for friday fish and chip treats and seaside days.
In Putney, we park briefly in the home’s car park or drive, as agreed with the manager. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.

What happens on the day
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. In Putney, late spring and early autumn evenings stay light until about 8:50pm and 7:05pm; winter visits, dark by about 3:55pm, suit lunchtime.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for residents.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Clear the route for the van

Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Keep the van clear of emergency access
- Plan how food reaches residents indoors
- Arrange texture-modified meals from your own kitchen
- Tell us about residents’ needs in writing
Families can join in, with numbers agreed in advance.
Bunting, deckchairs and a seaside theme make it an occasion.
What the van needs
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- Clear of ambulance access and emergency routes
- A route in without tight gates
- Not right beside residents’ rooms
As a London location, Putney is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

How we price a fish and chip van visit
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The minimum booking
- Distance and any road charges
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- A picture of the space and the way in
- The address or venue name
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Where you’d like the van to go
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can fill in our quote form.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.

Putney questions
Is parking a problem for the van in Putney?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
Could you trade in Bishops Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you do regular visits?
Tell us how frequently you’d like a visit.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is typically simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
