Care home fish and chips for your care home visit in The Hale
The care team knows each resident’s needs, so we plan portion sizes, timings and diets with the home. For lunch for the care team and open days for families, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, sausage and chips and haddock and chips for your guests.
For a care home in The Hale, a short stay in the car park works well, as agreed with the manager. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

About the food
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- A clear way in for the van
- Close to the garden or entrance
- Not right beside residents’ rooms
As a London location, The Hale is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
Popular choices
- Gravy
- Pie and chips
- Haddock and chips

- Choose a spot away from ambulance routes
- Organise staff to carry food in
- Let us know if smaller portions suit
- Agree the plan with your kitchen and care team
Residents in their rooms get food on a covered tray straight away.
Families love being included.
What a fish and chip van costs
