Care home fish and chips for your care home visit in St Ann's
We visit care homes, retirement housing, sheltered schemes and day centres. We serve mushy peas, pie and chips and haddock and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater care staff treats and seaside-themed afternoons.
Care homes in St Ann's frequently have a small car park or drive, so we plan a spot that keeps emergency access clear. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

A chip van compared with other options
Next to a delivery order, a van serves hot food on site, so food is hot when it reaches residents. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
Why us?
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- All the chip-shop extras
- A clear quote before booking

Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
For event organisers in St Ann's
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. In summer, St Ann's has daylight until about 9:20pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- We start with the date, numbers and a serving time that suits the home.
- We check where the van can park and send a quote.
- We plan portions and dietary needs with the home.
- On the day we set up and fry fresh, serving at the agreed time.
- We clear up and leave the car park as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Clear the route for the van
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
Ask for a quote
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.

Questions from St Ann's
What about parking in St Ann's?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
Can the van park in Chestnuts Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What about residents who do not eat fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
What can residents choose from?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Do you do regular visits?
Ask us about repeat dates when you enquire.
Where should the van go?
On a level spot in the car park or drive, clear of emergency access.
The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and children love it.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Access the van can manage
- Away from bedroom windows
- Lighting for later visits
St Ann's is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
