Care home fish and chips in Shoreditch
Shoreditch: care homes and access
Shoreditch is about 2 miles north of London, in Greater London. In and around Shoreditch, the van can serve from a drive, a yard, a car park or a firm field. We cover all 764 towns and villages in Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages.
For families visiting by train, Shoreditch High Street station is in Shoreditch itself. A care home summer fair, perhaps with a church like St Leonard's Church, is a good occasion for a van visit.

How our care home fish and chips works in Shoreditch
Residents can watch from the window or come out to the hatch, and families can join in. We are frequently asked to cater birthday treats for residents and care staff treats, serving cod and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
For a care home in Shoreditch, a short stay in the car park works well. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Space, access and the venue
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- Light near the van after dark
- Away from emergency access
- Away from bedroom windows
Shoreditch is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Questions from Shoreditch
What about parking in Shoreditch?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
Could you trade in Artillery Ground?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What about residents on soft diets?
Your care team knows each resident’s needs. Tell us about any diets and we will explain what we can offer; soft and texture-modified meals should come from your kitchen.
Can the van come to Shoreditch?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Shoreditch is within our area. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Can families and staff eat too?
Yes, and families love joining in.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for residents.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Entertainers and activities are great; a van visit is both. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your care home visit is.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
For planners, venues and organisers
Organising a club, school or community event in Shoreditch? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
