Care home fish and chips in Hampshire: what to expect

We visit care homes, retirement housing, sheltered schemes and day centres, for one-off events and regular visits. We are frequently asked to cater open days for families and day centre treats, serving gravy, sausage and chips and pie and chips.

We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for.

Send us your date, numbers and address.
We check access for the van and quote.
We arrive in good time to set up.
Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.

Cost

There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.

Fish and chip days across Hampshire

Across Hampshire, care homes, retirement housing and day centres book van visits, from Basingstoke, Winchester and Gosport to small villages. The New Forest National Park, the South Downs National Park and the Surrey Hills National Landscape are within easy reach of places across Hampshire, where some venues have extra rules about vehicles. Around 143 places in Hampshire are close to the coast, so we frequently plan a sheltered side for the queue.

Basingstoke: Some homes in Basingstoke have links with a local church such as St Michael's Church, and a van visit can be part of a summer fête. Old photos of Daneshill Park Woods can spark conversation during a van visit. With darkness by about 4:00pm in December, winter van visits in Basingstoke suit lunchtime, while summer visits can run into the evening, with light until about 9:25pm.

Allergies and dietary needs

Most events have a few residents with dietary needs. To plan for them:

Plan how food reaches residents indoors
Choose a spot away from ambulance routes
Plan it with your catering manager
Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen

We arrive in good time to park and heat the fryers.

Make it a regular event.

About the food

Sausage and chips

Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and children love it.

Cod and chips

For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it is hot, crisp and generous.

Is a fish and chip van right for you?

Compared with a takeaway delivery, a van serves hot food on site, so it isn’t lukewarm by the time it is plated.

For planners, venues and organisers

Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.

Common questions in Hampshire

Which areas do you serve?

We cover London and the South East, Hampshire included. Find your area.

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; texture-modified meals should be prepared or advised on by your own team.

Is there a non-fish option?

Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.

Can you cook in the rain?

Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.

Can families and staff eat too?

Of course. Add them to your numbers.

What food do you serve?

Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
