Care home fish and chips in St John's Wood, cooked to order
Your team knows your residents best, so we plan portion sizes, timings and diets with the home. We serve mushy peas, pie and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater themed afternoons and birthday treats for residents.
In St John's Wood, care homes normally have limited parking, so we agree a spot clear of ambulance access. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
