About our care home fish and chips in Soho
Many residents prefer smaller portions on a plate. Whether it’s seaside days and day centre treats, we can cook sausage and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips for your guests.
For a care home in Soho, a short stay in the car park works well. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

How it works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. With darkness by about 3:55pm in December, winter van visits in Soho suit lunchtime.
- The home tells us the date, numbers for residents, staff and visitors, and the best time to serve.
- We check where the van can park and send a quote.
- Portions and diets are planned with your care team.
- We serve hot from the hatch at the time the home chooses.
- Afterwards, we pack up quietly.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
- Keep space clear for residents at the hatch
- Clear the route for the van

Planning the van’s spot
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Firm, level ground close to the home
- Away from emergency access
- A route in without tight gates
As a London location, Soho is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Organising for someone else?
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
What a fish and chip van costs
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Distance and any road charges
- The length of service
- Your choice of menu
- The date and time of year
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your care home visit is.

You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
