How our care home fish and chips works in Uxbridge
Some residents come out to the van; others watch from inside, and families can join in. On the menu are pie and chips, sausage and chips and gravy, and we’re regularly asked to cater themed afternoons and retirement village events.
Care homes around Uxbridge are often in converted houses with a drive. Tell us about access. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Ask about smaller portions
- Pick a time that suits the home’s day
- Share residents’ diets and allergies with us
- Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen
When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
A seaside theme with bunting adds to the fun.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
How it works
The first sign we have arrived is typically the smell. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. In summer, Uxbridge has daylight until about 9:25pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- It starts with your date, numbers and mealtime.
- We check the parking spot and send a price.
- Portions and diets are planned with your care team.
- We park up and cook to order at mealtime.
- We clear up and leave the car park as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Let us know the serving time

- Cod, haddock or both
- How easy the site is to reach
- How far we travel
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
