About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
About our care home fish and chips in The Wrythe
Staff get a break from the usual routine, and something to look forward to. We serve pie and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and we are frequently booked for family days and themed afternoons.
In The Wrythe, we park briefly in the home’s car park or drive, as agreed with the manager. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

What affects the price in The Wrythe
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Whether a minimum applies
- How easy the site is to reach
- Your choice of menu
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
What to tell us
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Expected numbers
- The venue or postcode
- Anything awkward about the way in
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, use our quote form.
Working with your venue
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Planning the van’s spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- Close to the garden or entrance
- Light near the van after dark
- Not blocking ambulance bays
The Wrythe is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
What we serve

- Cod and chips

How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. In summer, The Wrythe has daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden visits easy. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.

- You get an access check and a clear quote.
- We agree portion sizes and any diets with your kitchen or care team.
- We park up and cook to order at mealtime.
- We clear up and leave the car park as we found it.
Preparing for the day

Common questions in The Wrythe
What about parking in The Wrythe?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
Could you trade in Carshalton Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Do you come to The Wrythe?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and The Wrythe is within our area and the rest of Greater London. To check your date, use our quote form.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children typically love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including The Wrythe.
How much does a fish and chip van visit cost in The Wrythe?

Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
