About our care home fish and chips in Surrey Canal
The van parks in the car park, on the drive or on a firm lawn, away from emergency routes. We are often asked to cater retirement housing and sheltered schemes and fish and chip Fridays, with gravy, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
In Surrey Canal, care homes generally have limited parking, so we agree a spot clear of ambulance access. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before booking.

What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The menu and how many choices
- How far we travel
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The minimum booking
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The venue or postcode
- Roughly how many people, including children
It is easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Planning the van’s spot
We’ll be honest if a spot will not work. What matters most:
- Light near the van after dark
- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
- Not right beside residents’ rooms
Surrey Canal 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.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
- 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
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
