Care home fish and chips in Well Hill, cooked to order
It gives the kitchen and care staff a change. We serve gravy, sausage and chips and haddock and chips, and we are frequently booked for friday fish and chip treats and staff thank-you lunches at the home.
In Well Hill, we park briefly in the home’s car park or drive, as agreed with the manager. We cook inside the van, right where your residents are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Takeaway run or book a van?
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 you get to enjoy the day.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
The menu, dish by dish
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and it is a favourite with children.
Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Well Hill
Can the van park in Hewitt's Chalk Bank?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Is parking a problem for the van in Well Hill?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
What can residents choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can portions be smaller?
We’ll plan portions with the home.
Can staff have lunch from the van?
Yes, and families love joining in.
How much does a fish and chip van visit cost in Well Hill?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
