Care home fish and chips in Tooting, cooked to order
It gives the kitchen and care staff a change, and something to look forward to. On the menu are sausage and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for staff thank-you lunches at the home and birthday treats for residents.
Care homes in Tooting often have a small car park or drive, so we agree a spot clear of ambulance access. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
A seaside afternoon with a chip van feels special. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
Why us?
- A clear quote before booking
- A van that becomes part of the event
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
Planning the van’s spot
We will be honest if a spot won’t work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- Light near the van after dark
- Not blocking ambulance bays
- A level parking spot near the entrance
As a London location, Tooting is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

Tooting: your questions answered
Is parking a problem for the van in Tooting?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.
Could you trade in Wandle Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Greater London. See all areas.
Can the van come to Tooting?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Tooting and the rest of Greater London. To check your date, use our quote form.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for residents.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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 typically the easier option.
