Care home fish and chips in Woolwich, fried fresh
Some residents come out to the van; others watch from inside, and families can join in. On the menu are pie and chips, cod and chips and gravy, and typical bookings are for staff thank-you lunches at the home and day centres and lunch clubs.
In Woolwich, we park briefly in the home’s car park or drive. Everything is fried fresh at your care home visit, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with frying and serving. In Woolwich, late spring and early autumn evenings stay light until about 8:50pm and 7:05pm; for winter visits, choose lunchtime.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for residents.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
