Care home fish and chips for Wandsworth events
What the van needs
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A route in without tight gates
- Light near the van after dark
- A level, firm spot such as the car park or drive
Wandsworth 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.

Care home fish and chips in Wandsworth, fried fresh
Monthly or seasonal visits become a highlight in the calendar. We’re often asked to cater day centre treats and friday fish and chip treats, serving gravy, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
For a care home in Wandsworth, a short stay in the car park works well. Everything is fried fresh at your care home visit, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

- Served hot, straight from the hatch
For event organisers in Wandsworth
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Wandsworth: your questions answered
Is parking a problem for the van in Wandsworth?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
Could you trade in King George's Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
Can the van come to Wandsworth?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Wandsworth and the rest of Greater London. For a quote, use our quote form.
Do you do regular visits?
Ask us about repeat dates when you enquire.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
What affects the price in Wandsworth
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The menu and how many choices
- How easy the site is to reach
- Service time
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- The venue or postcode
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Anything awkward about the way in
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. To send your details, fill in our quote form.
The process
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. Garden visits in Wandsworth work best between late spring and early autumn, with sunset about 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September; in winter, keep it to lunchtime.
- The home tells us the date, numbers for residents, staff and visitors, and the best time to serve.
- We check the parking spot and send a price.
- We agree portion sizes and any diets with your kitchen or care team.
- On the day we set up and fry fresh, serving at the agreed time.
- We clear up and leave the car park as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
