About our care home fish and chips in Roehampton
Residents can watch from the window or come out to the hatch, and families are welcome too. Popular choices include mushy peas, sausage and chips and pie and chips, and we’re often booked for birthday treats for residents and sheltered housing get-togethers.
In Roehampton, care homes usually have limited parking, so we agree a spot clear of ambulance access. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Roehampton questions
What’s the nearest station to Roehampton?
Barnes station, about 0.8 miles north of the centre.
Could you trade in Putney Heath?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can families and staff eat too?
Of course. Add them to your numbers.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you do residents’ portions?
Tell us what you need and we will plan portion sizes with your team.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Lighting for later visits
- Close to the garden or entrance
- A clear way in for the van
Roehampton 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.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
On the menu in Roehampton

Planners, venues and businesses
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Roehampton? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Count families who are joining in
- Tell us about residents’ needs in writing
- Plan portion sizes with us
- Choose a time around meals and medication
We set up before the mealtime.
Make it a regular event.
The process
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Residents usually gather round the hatch as soon as we open. In summer, Roehampton has daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden visits easy. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Get permission for the van from the venue
