About the food
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Is a fish and chip van right for your care home visit?
A trip out to a restaurant is hard for many residents. The van comes to the home. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Why us?
- No kitchen needed
- Events in Baybridge and across Hampshire
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
Take a look at our prices page or our guide to van hire costs.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
