Care home fish and chips for South Bank events
Is a fish and chip van right for your care home visit?
Compared with a takeaway delivery, the van cooks on site, so food is hot when it reaches residents. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What you get with us
- We cover South Bank and the whole of Greater London
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Hot food handed straight over
- Classic food your residents already know
About our care home fish and chips in South Bank
Residents can watch from the window or come out to the hatch, and families are welcome too. Whether it is sheltered housing get-togethers and family days, we will put together a menu of haddock and chips, gravy and cod and chips.
Care homes in South Bank frequently have a small car park or drive, so we plan a spot that keeps emergency access clear. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Questions from South Bank
Can the van park in Jubilee Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to South Bank?
South Bank has its own station: London Waterloo station.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac residents in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do you cover South Bank?
Yes, we do. South Bank is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
Do you offer repeat visits?
Tell us how often you’d like a visit.
About the food
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Choose a spot away from ambulance routes
- Involve the kitchen and care team early
- Share residents’ diets and allergies with us
- Count families who are joining in
Service fits around the home’s routines.
Inviting families makes it even more special.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
