About our care home fish and chips in Albury
The van parks in the car park, on the drive or on a firm lawn, away from emergency routes. For seaside-themed afternoons and lunch clubs, we can cook mushy peas, cod and chips and haddock and chips and more.
Near Albury, residents may not get out much, so a van visit is a big occasion. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.

Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Albury
How far is Albury from London?
About 44 miles from central London.
Is Albury too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children normally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is typically simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Where should the van go?
In the car park or on the drive, away from ambulance routes.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Albury?
Taking residents out is a big undertaking. A van brings the treat to them. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

How it works
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your care home visit. For a summer visit in Albury, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:25pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.

- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.

What the van needs
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:

Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
