DIY versus a fish and chip van
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 normally the easier option.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Step by step
You will know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. In Vauxhall, late spring and early autumn evenings stay light until about 8:50pm and 7:05pm; for winter visits, choose lunchtime.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Clear the route for the van
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

Vauxhall questions
Is parking a problem for the van in Vauxhall?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
Could you trade in Old Paradise Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first.
Where will the van park?
In the car park or on the drive, away from ambulance routes.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
Can everyone take part?
Your care team knows each resident’s needs. Share the diets and we’ll say what we can do; texture-modified meals should be prepared or advised on by your own team.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
About the food
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Where the van can park in Vauxhall
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- With the serving side away from windows
- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
- Light near the van after dark
Vauxhall is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

Looking after everyone

- Agree the plan with your kitchen and care team
- Plan portion sizes with us
- Check the spot with your manager
Staff carry plates to residents who cannot come outside.
A bit of music from residents’ younger days helps.
