Care home fish and chips for your care home visit in Spitalfields
For many residents, fish and chips brings back seaside trips and Friday nights. A van visit turns a meal into an event. For summer fêtes and open days and residents’ family gatherings, we can cook gravy, pie and chips and haddock and chips for your guests.
Care homes in Spitalfields frequently have a small car park or drive, so we agree a spot clear of ambulance access. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Before you choose a spot
We will be honest if a spot will not work, and help find another. What matters most:
- A level, firm spot such as the car park or drive
- A spot residents can enjoy, inside or out
- Clear of ambulance access and emergency routes
Spitalfields is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: 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 before you book.

Organising for someone else?
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Planning a van visit in Spitalfields
Spitalfields is about 1 mile north-east of London, in Greater London. From the centre of Spitalfields to the outskirts, the service works the same way: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. Spitalfields is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover.
Families coming by rail can use the station: there is a station right in Spitalfields: London Liverpool Street station. With the A10 and A1202 nearby, the home is easy for us to reach.
For care home visits in E1, EC2A and E1W, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many residents. That could mean a care home visit at a home on New Road, Mark Lane and Bell Lane, as long as there’s somewhere for the van. You’ll find Spitalfields on the A10 and A1202, which makes the journey straightforward.

FAQs for Spitalfields
Can the van park in Finsbury Circus?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first.
What’s the nearest station to Spitalfields?
London Liverpool Street station, in Spitalfields itself.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.

About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and it is a favourite with children.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen
- Tell us about residents’ needs in writing
- Choose a spot away from ambulance routes
- Choose a time around meals and medication
We arrive in good time to park and heat the fryers.
A bit of music from residents’ younger days helps.

Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
- 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
