Care home fish and chips in Bay View
How our care home fish and chips works in Bay View
Your team knows your residents best, so we work with the home on portions and diets. For day centres and lunch clubs and care home summer fairs, we’ll put together a menu of gravy, pie and chips and haddock and chips for your guests.
Near Bay View, residents may not get out much, so a van visit is a big occasion. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
Care home visits in Bay View
Bay View is about 4 miles east of Minster, in Kent. From the centre of Bay View to the outskirts, the service works the same way: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. We cover all 922 towns and villages in Kent. We serve events right across the region, from Bay View to Canterbury (11 miles away).
We take the van to care home visits all over ME12 and the streets around it. Local streets include Mustards Road, Warden View Gardens and Danes Drive; a care home visit on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. Nearby, we also serve care home visits in Uplees (4 miles south), Oare (5 miles south), Conyer (5 miles south-west), Teynham Street (5 miles south-west) and The Brents (5 miles south). We also serve nearby towns such as Canterbury (11 miles south-east), Sittingbourne (8 miles south-west), Whitstable (7 miles south-east), Faversham (6 miles south), Herne Bay (10 miles east) and Minster (4 miles west).

Step by step
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Sunset in Bay View is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September; for winter visits, choose lunchtime.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

- Where the event is
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Anything awkward about the way in

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
