Care home fish and chips in Addlestone, cooked to order
Some residents need texture-modified food, which should come from the home’s own kitchen and care team, so everyone can share the occasion safely. For care staff treats and visiting days, we will put together a menu of gravy, haddock and chips and cod and chips for your guests.
Care homes around Addlestone are often in converted houses with a drive. Let us know about the way in. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Organising a club, school or community event in Addlestone? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce and it is on the menu.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
A fish and chip van or other catering?

Where the van can park in Addlestone
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- A clear way in for the van
- Close to the garden or entrance
- Not blocking ambulance bays
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
From the hatch
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Gravy
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
- Cod and chips
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
How we price a fish and chip van visit
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- The length of service
- The day of the week
- Cod, haddock or both
- How many people are eating
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your care home visit.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Your date and serving time
- Expected numbers
- A photo of the space and the way in
Still finalising the details? That’s fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll quote on that. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Addlestone
How far is Addlestone from London?
Roughly 19 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can the van park in Woburn Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you do residents’ portions?
Portion sizes are agreed in advance.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for residents are worth planning.
Can everyone take part?
Your care team knows each resident’s needs. Tell us about any diets and we will explain what we can offer; soft and texture-modified meals should come from your kitchen.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
