Care home fish and chips in Putney Vale, cooked to order
Residents can watch from the window or come out to the hatch, and families can join in. Whether it is open days for families and day centres and lunch clubs, we will put together a menu of haddock and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas and more.
Care homes in Putney Vale frequently have a small car park or drive, so we agree a spot clear of ambulance access. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Putney Vale questions
Is parking a problem for the van in Putney Vale?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
What’s the nearest station to Putney Vale?
The closest is Raynes Park station, roughly 2 miles away.
Do you come to Putney Vale?
We do. We serve events in Putney Vale and across Greater London. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Can you do smaller portions for residents?
Portion sizes are agreed in advance.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac residents when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your residents, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
What the van needs
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- A level parking spot near the entrance
- Access the van can manage
- Close to the garden or entrance
Putney Vale is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
