Care home fish and chips for your care home visit in St Giles
We park close to the entrance or garden, away from emergency routes. Popular choices include pie and chips, gravy and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for sheltered housing get-togethers and visiting days.
In St Giles, we park briefly in the home’s car park or drive, as agreed with the manager. We cook inside the van, right where your residents are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

St Giles: your questions answered
Is parking a problem for the van in St Giles?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
What’s the nearest station to St Giles?
Tottenham Court Road station, in St Giles itself.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Can everyone take part?
The home knows each resident best. Share the diets and we’ll say what we can do; soft and texture-modified meals should come from your kitchen.

Ask us about repeat dates when you enquire.

We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.

What food do you serve?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen
- Check the spot with your manager
- Choose a time around meals and medication
- List residents’ diets, allergies and portion needs
We arrive in good time to park and heat the fryers, quietly.
Families love being included.

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
