About our care home fish and chips in Slade Green
Some residents come out to the van; others watch from inside, and families can join in. We are often asked to cater care home summer fairs and lunch for the care team, with pie and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.
In Slade Green, care homes generally have limited parking, so we agree a spot clear of ambulance access. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a takeaway delivery, the van cooks on site, so food is hot when it reaches residents. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
Why book with us
- Something for residents to gather round
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- We cover Slade Green and the whole of Greater London
Step by step
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and get on with frying and serving. With darkness by about 3:50pm in December, winter van visits in Slade Green suit lunchtime, while summer visits can run into the evening, with light until about 9:20pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for residents.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Clear the route for the van

Planning help
Planning the van’s spot
If a spot is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- Away from emergency access
- Firm, level ground close to the home
- Not right beside residents’ rooms
As a London location, Slade Green is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
On the menu in Slade Green
- Sausage and chips
- Gravy
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips
- Mushy peas
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
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.
The menu, dish by dish
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips.
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.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Check the spot with your manager
- Ask about smaller portions
- List residents’ diets, allergies and portion needs
- Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen
Staff carry plates to residents who can’t come outside, while it’s hot.
Bunting, deckchairs and a seaside theme make it an occasion.
