Care home fish and chips in Three Mills
What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Clear of ambulance access and emergency routes
- Not right beside residents’ rooms
- A clear way in for the van
As a London location, Three Mills is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
What we serve
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips

About our care home fish and chips in Three Mills
The care team knows each resident’s needs, so we plan portion sizes, timings and diets with the home. On the menu are mushy peas, sausage and chips and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for residents’ birthdays and anniversaries and sheltered housing get-togethers.
In Three Mills, we park briefly in the home’s car park or drive, as agreed with the manager. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Plan it with your catering manager
- Tell us about residents’ needs in writing
- Count families who are joining in
- Keep the van clear of emergency access
Families can join in, with numbers agreed in advance.
Bunting, deckchairs and a seaside theme make it an occasion.
For planners, venues and organisers
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. Sending people up in groups helps.
