Care home fish and chips across Kent

Residents on soft or texture-modified diets need special care, which should come from the home’s own kitchen and care team, so everyone can share the occasion safely. We serve mushy peas, sausage and chips and pie and chips, and we are often booked for summer fêtes and open days and themed afternoons.

Service is quick: food goes from the fryer to the hatch. Afterwards we pack up.

We start with a few details about your care home visit.
You get an availability check and a clear quote.
Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
On the day, we park up and fry fresh for residents.
Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.

What you’ll pay

Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.

The closest station to Maidstone is Maidstone West station, about 0.6 miles north-west.

Fish and chip days across Kent

From Maidstone, Ashford and Canterbury to 767 villages and hamlets, Kent has care homes of every size. At every home, we park clear of ambulance access. Parts of Kent are within a few miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape and the High Weald National Landscape, so check venue rules on vehicles for countryside events. Around 219 places in Kent are close to the coast, where we always think about shelter for the queue.

Maidstone: Maidstone is on or near the A20 and A26, so access for the van is simple. Families coming by rail can use the station: Maidstone West station is about 0.6 miles away. In summer, Maidstone has daylight until about 9:15pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In December, with dark by about 3:50pm, lunchtime is best.

What a fish and chip van costs

The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:

The menu and how many choices
Any minimum charge
Parking and the way in
How far we travel

Larger groups typically cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

What to tell us

Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:

Rough numbers for adults and children
Any dietary needs and allergies
A photo of the space and the way in
How to get in: gates, lanes and ground

Not sure of numbers yet? That’s fine: tell us the basics about your care home visit, and we will quote on that. To start, use our quote form.

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 you get to enjoy the day.

Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Planning for dietary needs

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

Count families who are joining in
Fit the visit around routines
Ask about smaller portions
List residents’ diets, allergies and portion needs

Families can join in, with numbers agreed in advance.

A regular date gives everyone something to look forward to.

What comes out of the fryer

Curry sauce

Curry sauce divides opinion and it is on the menu.

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.
