Care home fish and chips in Wimbledon, cooked to order
Residents on soft or texture-modified diets need special care, which should come from the home’s own kitchen and care team. On the menu are cod and chips, pie and chips and gravy, and we are often booked for care home summer fairs and family days.
Care homes in Wimbledon frequently have a small car park or drive, so we plan a spot that keeps emergency access clear. We cook inside the van, right where your residents are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
Planning the van’s spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- A lit spot for evening service
- Close to the garden or entrance
- Clear of ambulance access and emergency routes
Wimbledon is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Popular choices

- Mushy peas

DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Planners, venues and businesses
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Arrange plates and trays for residents inside
- Agree numbers for residents, staff and families
- Arrange texture-modified meals from your own kitchen
- Fit the visit around routines
Staff carry plates to residents who cannot come outside.
Seaside photos give people something to talk about.
