How our care home fish and chips works in Selhurst
Some residents come out to the van; others watch from inside, and families are welcome too. For residents’ family gatherings and care home summer fairs, we can cook sausage and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips and more.
Care homes in Selhurst frequently have a small car park or drive, so we plan a spot that keeps emergency access clear. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Arrange texture-modified meals from your own kitchen
- Plan how food reaches residents indoors
- Tell us about residents’ needs in writing
- Involve the kitchen and care team early
Families can join in, with numbers agreed in advance.
Bunting, deckchairs and a seaside theme make it an occasion.
Step by step
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. With darkness by about 3:55pm in December, winter van visits in Selhurst suit lunchtime.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep space clear for residents at the hatch
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Let us know the serving time

Where the van can park in Selhurst
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Away from emergency access
- With the serving side away from windows
- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
As a London location, Selhurst 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’ll advise.
