A chip van near Southwark
Care home fish and chips in Southwark, cooked to order
We visit care homes, retirement housing, sheltered schemes and day centres. On the menu are cod and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips, and we are often booked for day centre treats and seaside days.
In Southwark, care homes normally have limited parking, so we plan a spot that keeps emergency access clear. We cook inside the van, right where your residents are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Where the van can park in Southwark
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Away from emergency access
- Close to the garden or entrance
- Firm, level ground close to the home
As a London location, Southwark is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Care home visits in Southwark
Southwark is about 0 miles north-west of London, in Greater London. People in Southwark book us for all sorts of reasons, but the plan is always the same: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. We cover all 764 towns and villages across Greater London.
For families visiting by train, the nearest station is Elephant & Castle station, about 0.5 miles south. A care home summer fair, perhaps with a church like Borough Welsh Congregational Chapel, is a good occasion for a van visit.
For care home visits in SE1 and SE11, we just need to know where the van can park and a serving time. That could mean a care home visit at a home on Borough Square, Trinity Church Square and Merrick Square, as long as there’s somewhere for the van. You will find Southwark on the A300 and B240, so it is easy for us to reach with the van. Close by, we cover care home visits in Tower Hill (1 mile north-east), City of London (1 mile north), Aldgate (1 mile north-east), Bishopsgate (1 mile north-east) and Barbican Estate (1 mile north).

DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Southwark?
Taking residents out is a big undertaking. The van comes to the home. The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
