About our care home fish and chips in Willesden Green
Staff get a break from the usual routine, and something to look forward to. Popular choices include sausage and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for care staff treats and sheltered housing get-togethers.
Care homes in Willesden Green frequently have a small car park or drive, so we agree a spot clear of ambulance access. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

Working with your venue
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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.

- Light near the van after dark
- With the serving side away from windows
- A level, firm spot such as the car park or drive
