Care home fish and chips in Upper Norwood, cooked to order
The care team knows each resident’s needs, so we plan portion sizes, timings and diets with the home. Popular choices include sausage and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas, and we’re frequently booked for retirement housing and sheltered schemes and summer fêtes and open days.
In Upper Norwood, care homes usually have limited parking, so we agree a spot clear of ambulance access. We cook inside the van, right where your residents are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. For a summer visit in Upper Norwood, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden visits easy. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.

Is a fish and chip van right for your care home visit?
Compared with a takeaway delivery, a van serves hot food on site, so food is hot when it reaches residents. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.

Upper Norwood: your questions answered
What about parking in Upper Norwood?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
Could you trade in Long Meadow?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first.
What about residents on soft diets?
Yes: residents on soft diets can share the occasion with meals from your kitchen.
Do you come to Upper Norwood?
We do. We serve events in Upper Norwood and across Greater London. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, Greater London included. See all areas.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

- Plan portion sizes with us
