About our care home fish and chips in Russell Hill
Your team knows your residents best, so we work with the home on portions and diets. For residents’ birthdays and anniversaries and care home summer fairs, we can cook cod and chips, mushy peas and gravy and more.
For a care home in Russell Hill, a short stay in the car park works well. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Space, access and the venue
If a spot is not suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- Access the van can manage
- Away from bedroom windows
- Light near the van after dark
Russell Hill 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.

The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and it is a favourite with children.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Common questions in Russell Hill
Which station is closest to Russell Hill?
The closest is Waddon station, roughly 1 mile away.
Can the van park in Duppas Hill?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for residents.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Can staff have lunch from the van?
Of course. Add them to your numbers.
