How our care home fish and chips works in Redbridge
Residents can watch from the window or come out to the hatch, and families are welcome too. Whether it is lunch for the care team and residents’ family gatherings, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, haddock and chips and gravy.
For a care home near Redbridge, tell us about lanes and the drive. We cook inside the van, right where your residents are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Redbridge
Which station is closest to Redbridge?
Oxford station, about 1.9 miles north-west of the centre.
Is Redbridge close to London?
About 52 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
What about residents on soft diets?
The home knows each resident best. Tell us about any diets and we’ll explain what we can offer; texture-modified meals should be prepared or advised on by your own team.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac residents when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.

Diets, allergies and planning

- Agree the plan with your kitchen and care team
- Let us know if smaller portions suit
- Pick a time that suits the home’s day
Residents in their rooms get food on a covered tray straight away.
Bunting, deckchairs and a seaside theme make it an occasion.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
How it works
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can get on with your care home visit. In Redbridge, the garden season runs from late May, with light until about 9:00pm, to late September, around 7:10pm; in winter, keep it to lunchtime.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for residents.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
