How care home fish and chips works in West Berkshire

We visit care homes, retirement housing, sheltered schemes and day centres. Typical bookings include seaside-themed afternoons and summer fêtes and open days, serving gravy, pie and chips and haddock and chips.

Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. Residents will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch.

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.

What you’ll pay

The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.

What you get with us

West Berkshire questions

How long does set-up take?

We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.

Do you do regular visits?

We are happy to talk about repeat visits.

Where can the van park?

A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your residents, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.

Where do you take the van?

We take the van across London and the South East, West Berkshire included. Find your area.

Do you do residents’ portions?

We will agree portion sizes with your kitchen or care team.

What if the weather’s bad?

The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.

How fast is service?

A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
