Questions from America Ground
What about events near the coast?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Can the van park in Linton Gardens?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.
Are visitors included?
Yes, it is a lovely chance for families to visit.
Can everyone take part?
Your care team knows each resident’s needs. Share the diets and we will say what we can do; texture-modified meals should be prepared or advised on by your own team.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
For event organisers in America Ground
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Next to a delivery order, a van serves hot food on site, so it isn’t lukewarm by the time it is plated. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your care home visit.

The process
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. In summer, America Ground has daylight until about 9:15pm, which makes garden visits easy. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- We start with a few details about your care home visit.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for residents.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
How to prepare
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Planning help
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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’s crisp.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
Why choose care home fish and chips in America Ground?
Families enjoy joining in, which residents love.
Almost any gathering works with a fish and chip van. People in America Ground book the van for events such as:
- Retirement housing and sheltered schemes
- A monthly fish and chip day
- Seaside-themed afternoons
- Residents’ family gatherings
Church Wood and Robsack Wood is close by, a good starting point for a chat about days out.
