Care home fish and chips in Waterloo, fried fresh
Monthly or seasonal visits become a highlight in the calendar. Typical bookings include visiting days and sheltered housing get-togethers, with haddock and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.
In Waterloo, care homes normally have limited parking, so we agree a spot clear of ambulance access. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:

Before you choose a spot

Fish and chip days near Waterloo
Waterloo is about 1 mile west of London, in Greater London. From the centre of Waterloo to the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh frying, hot food from the hatch and a clear price. Waterloo is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover.
With the A301 and A302 nearby, the home is easy for us to reach. Some homes in Waterloo have links with a local church such as Christ Church, and a van visit can be part of a summer fête.
Wherever your care home visit is in SE1, SE11 and WC2N, we can fry fresh for your residents. Your care home visit could be at a house on York Road, Spur Road and Bear Lane, as long as there is somewhere for the van. Waterloo sits on or near the A301 and A302, so getting the van to your care home visit is simple. Close by, we cover care home visits in South Bank (1 mile north-west), Bankside (1 mile north-east), Adelphi (1 mile north-west), Temple (1 mile north) and Charing Cross (1 mile north-west). Larger places within reach include Kensington (4 miles west), Walthamstow (7 miles north-east), Hoxton (3 miles north-east), Hampstead (5 miles north-west), Ruislip (14 miles west) and Orpington (12 miles south-east).
Nearby you’ll also find Liberty of the Savoy (0.7 miles north-west) and Florence Nightingale Museum (less than half a mile west). Open spaces near Waterloo include Ludgate Hill and Bellenden Road Nature Garden.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Entertainers and activities are great; a van visit combines a meal with an activity. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
What you get with us
- A menu almost everyone likes
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- All the chip-shop extras
