Planning an event in Waltham Forest?
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Care home fish and chips in Waltham Forest, fried fresh
Residents on soft or texture-modified diets need special care, which the home’s own team prepares or advises on, so everyone can share the occasion safely. For staff thank-you lunches at the home and seaside days, we can cook cod and chips, mushy peas and gravy for your guests.
Care homes in Waltham Forest often have a small car park or drive, so we agree a spot clear of ambulance access. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.

Step by step
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your residents, which we agree with you beforehand. For a summer visit in Waltham Forest, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden visits easy. In December, with dark by about 3:50pm, lunchtime is best.
- First, tell us about your care home visit.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for residents.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
