It gives the kitchen and care staff a change. We are often asked to cater residents’ family gatherings and sheltered housing get-togethers, with haddock and chips, cod and chips and gravy.
In South Wimbledon, care homes typically have limited parking, so we agree a spot clear of ambulance access. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your care home visit, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

South Wimbledon: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to South Wimbledon?
South Wimbledon has its own station: Wimbledon station.
Could you trade in Wandle Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Do you cover South Wimbledon?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and South Wimbledon is within our area and the rest of Greater London. To check your date, use our quote form.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What happens on the day
There’s very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your care home visit. We handle the cooking and serving. In South Wimbledon, the garden season runs from late May, with light until about 8:50pm, to late September, around 7:05pm; in winter, keep it to lunchtime.
- 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.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
