Care home fish and chips in London, fried fresh
Your team knows your residents best, so we work with the home on portions and diets. We’re frequently asked to cater birthday treats for residents and summer fêtes and open days, serving gravy, pie and chips and sausage and chips.
Care homes and retirement housing in London vary from large sites to small homes. We will agree a level spot clear of emergency access. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do before you book.

The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger residents and fish-dodgers.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How easy the site is to reach
- Your choice of menu
- The length of service
- The date and time of year
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is often the best value.

Common questions in London
Which station is closest to London?
Elephant & Castle station, in London itself.
Could you trade in Newington Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Where should the van go?
On a level spot in the car park or drive, clear of emergency access.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Planning the van’s spot
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Away from emergency access
- Away from bedroom windows
- Light near the van after dark
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

The process
Here’s how the day generally runs: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. December visits in London are best at lunchtime, as it is dark by about 3:55pm, while summer visits can run into the evening, with light until about 9:20pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day

- Have a level parking spot ready
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Planning help
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. 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.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
