About care home fish and chips in Medway
Smaller portions and plates with cutlery suit many residents, and we plan that with you. We serve sausage and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for fish and chip Fridays and seaside days.
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.
- First, tell us about your care home visit.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for residents.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.

Fish and chip days across Medway
Across Medway, care homes, retirement housing and day centres book van visits, from Gillingham, Chatham and Rochester to small villages.
Gillingham: Some homes in Gillingham have links with a local church such as Holy Trinity Church, and a van visit can be part of a summer fête. The A2 and A231 make Gillingham a simple journey for the van. For a summer visit in Gillingham, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden visits easy. In December, with dark by about 3:50pm, lunchtime is best.

About the food
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and children love it.
Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Plan IDDSI-level meals with your own team
- Organise staff to carry food in
- Count families who are joining in
- Share residents’ diets and allergies with us
We set up before the mealtime, quietly.
Inviting families makes it even more special.
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Medway questions
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Medway. See all areas.
