The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Care home fish and chips in St Luke's, cooked to order
We park close to the entrance or garden, clear of ambulance access. Popular choices include mushy peas, haddock and chips and pie and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater day centre treats and residents’ birthdays and anniversaries.
For a care home in St Luke's, a short stay in the car park works well. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
The home’s kitchen can make fish and chips, but a van turns it into an occasion. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is often the best value.

- Quick service from the hatch
- A van that becomes part of the event
- We cover St Luke's and the whole of Greater London

Should I sort the food myself?

Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.

Common questions in St Luke's
What’s the nearest station to St Luke's?
St Luke's has its own station: Old Street station.
Can the van park in Artillery Ground?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac residents and we will explain the options.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you do regular visits?
Yes, ask us about regular dates.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
