Care home fish and chips in South Street, cooked to order
For many residents, fish and chips brings back seaside trips and Friday nights. A van in the car park makes mealtime an occasion. Popular choices include cod and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re often booked for seaside-themed afternoons and lunch for the care team.
For a care home in South Street, a short stay in the car park works well, as agreed with the manager. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

How we price a fish and chip van visit
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:

FAQs for South Street
Is parking a problem for the van in South Street?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.
Which station is closest to South Street?
Oxted station, about 3.7 miles south-west of the centre.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for residents are worth planning.
Where should the van go?
Wherever suits the home, as long as it’s level and safe.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before you book.
Can the van park on grass?
Generally, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Are visitors included?
Yes, it is a lovely chance for families to visit.
How it works
Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. With darkness by about 3:55pm in December, winter van visits in South Street suit lunchtime, while summer visits can run into the evening, with light until about 9:20pm.

Planning help
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- Access the van can manage
- With the serving side away from windows
- Firm, level ground close to the home
South Street is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.

- Gravy
- Pie and chips
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Let us know if smaller portions suit
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen
- Fit the visit around routines
We arrive in good time to park and heat the fryers.
Inviting families makes it even more special.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
