Care home fish and chips in Roundshaw, fried fresh
Some residents come out to the van; others watch from inside, and families can join in. For retirement housing and sheltered schemes and summer fêtes and open days, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, pie and chips and gravy for your guests.
In Roundshaw, care homes generally have limited parking, so we plan a spot that keeps emergency access clear. We cook inside the van, right where your residents are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How easy the site is to reach
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How many people are eating
- Service time
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Getting an accurate quote
To speed things up, tell us:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Allergies and diets you know about

FAQs for Roundshaw
Which station is closest to Roundshaw?
The closest is Wallington station, roughly 0.9 miles away.
Can the van park in Waddon Ponds?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
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’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Roundshaw.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for residents.
Can portions be smaller?
Portion sizes are agreed in advance.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Close to the garden or entrance
- A route in without tight gates
- With the serving side away from windows
As a London location, Roundshaw is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
What we serve
- Pie and chips
- Haddock and chips

About the food
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it is hot, crisp and generous.

A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger residents and fish-dodgers.
