How our care home fish and chips works in West Silvertown
The care team knows each resident’s needs, so we plan portion sizes, timings and diets with the home. We’re often asked to cater retirement housing and sheltered schemes and fish and chip Fridays, serving mushy peas, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
For a care home in West Silvertown, a short stay in the car park works well. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before booking.

The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.

- Where the event is
- Expected numbers
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where you’d like the van to go

Space, access and the venue
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Firm, level ground close to the home
- Lighting for later visits
- Not blocking ambulance bays
As a London location, West Silvertown is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
On the menu in West Silvertown
- Pie and chips

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a takeaway delivery, a van serves hot food on site, so food is hot when it reaches residents. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your care home visit is.
Why us?
- Quick service from the hatch
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- All the chip-shop extras
- We cover West Silvertown and the whole of Greater London

DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
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 cooks in front of your residents instead.
