Care home fish and chips for Westfield events
A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it’s on the menu.
How our care home fish and chips works in Westfield
Monthly or seasonal visits become a highlight in the calendar. Whether it’s open days for families and friday fish and chip treats, we can cook mushy peas, sausage and chips and cod and chips and more.
Around Westfield, homes frequently have a drive and garden. Let us know about the way in. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Step by step
The first sign we have arrived is normally the smell, about the time the first residents wander across. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. In Westfield, late spring and early autumn evenings stay light until about 8:55pm and 7:05pm; for winter visits, choose lunchtime.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Before we arrive
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Have a level parking spot ready

Planning help
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Fit the visit around routines
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Keep the van clear of emergency access
- Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen
Food for residents indoors goes straight in on plates.
A bit of music from residents’ younger days helps.
Westfield questions
Could you trade in Hoe Valley Linear Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first.
Can the van go to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you do regular visits?
Ask us about repeat dates when you enquire.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Where should the van go?
In the car park or on the drive, away from ambulance routes.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Residents will appreciate cover near the hatch.
