About our care home fish and chips in Bagnum
We visit care homes, retirement housing, sheltered schemes and day centres. We’re often asked to cater day centres and lunch clubs and summer fêtes and open days, serving sausage and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
At a rural home near Bagnum, access matters so we can plan the route. We cook inside the van, right where your residents are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
Questions from Bagnum
Do you come to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Do you come out to small places like Bagnum?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you cover Bagnum?
Yes, we do. Bagnum is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is normally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
