Fresh fish and chips in Regents Park
Care home fish and chips in Regents Park, cooked to order
For many residents, fish and chips brings back seaside trips and Friday nights. A van visit turns a meal into an event. For lunch for the care team and seaside-themed afternoons, we can cook pie and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips for your guests.
In Regents Park, care homes, a chip van visit is a real treat. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your care home visit, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A route in without tight gates
- A lit spot for evening service
- Not blocking ambulance bays
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

What affects the price in Regents Park
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Access and parking
- Cod, haddock or both
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The day of the week
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Roughly how many people, including children
Not sure of numbers yet? That’s fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will quote on that. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Organising for someone else?
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
A chip van compared with other options
A themed afternoon with a van feels like a day out. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
Why us?
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side

Questions from Regents Park
Could you trade in St James' Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What about events near the coast?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Do you do residents’ portions?
Portion sizes are agreed in advance.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Do you come to Regents Park?
We do. Regents Park is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac residents in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.

How the day works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. For a summer visit in Regents Park, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:25pm, which makes garden visits easy. In December, with dark by about 4:00pm, lunchtime is best.

Visitors arriving by train should know that Millbrook (Hants) station is about 0.6 miles away.

The coast is within about 3 miles, and a van visit brings back seaside memories.
Anywhere in SO15, SO16 and SO17, we can bring the van to you. Local streets include May Road, Mill Road and York Road; a care home visit on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park.
