Book the van in Teddington
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Care home fish and chips in Teddington, cooked to order
The van parks in the car park, on the drive or on a firm lawn, away from emergency routes. Whether it’s summer fêtes and open days and seaside-themed afternoons, we can cook gravy, cod and chips and haddock and chips and more.
Care homes in Teddington often have a small car park or drive, so we plan a spot that keeps emergency access clear. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.

- Firm, level ground close to the home
- Close to the garden or entrance
- With the serving side away from windows
As a London location, Teddington is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Your kitchen could cook it, but a van turns it into an occasion. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Why us?
- Bookings across Greater London, including Teddington
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
How it works
Your timings come first. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. In Teddington, the garden season runs from late May, with light until about 8:55pm, to late September, around 7:05pm; in winter, keep it to lunchtime.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Name one person we can call on the day
