About our care home fish and chips in Tokyngton

It gives the kitchen and care staff a change. For retirement housing and sheltered schemes and open days for families, we can cook gravy, cod and chips and haddock and chips for your guests.

In Tokyngton, we park briefly in the home’s car park or drive. We cook inside the van, right where your residents are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Planning for dietary needs

Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:

  • List residents’ diets, allergies and portion needs
  • Organise staff to carry food in
  • Plan it with your catering manager
  • Let us know if smaller portions suit

Room service goes up covered and hot.

A regular date gives everyone something to look forward to.

What the van needs

We’ll be honest if a spot won’t work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:

  • A spot residents can enjoy, inside or out
  • Not right beside residents’ rooms
  • Firm, level ground close to the home

As a London location, Tokyngton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Questions from Tokyngton

What about parking in Tokyngton?

It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.

Can the van park in St. Raphael's Edible Garden?

Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.

What about residents who do not eat fish?

Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.

How fast is service?

Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.

Can you serve children?

Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.

Can the van come to Tokyngton?

We do. Tokyngton is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.

Is the fish gluten-free?

Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before you book.

Can you do smaller portions for residents?

We will agree portion sizes with your kitchen or care team.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?

Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
