About our care home fish and chips in Bedham
For many residents, fish and chips brings back seaside trips and Friday nights. A van in the car park makes mealtime an occasion. We’re often asked to cater lunch clubs and staff thank-you lunches at the home, with mushy peas, gravy and pie and chips.
Near Bedham, residents may not get out much, so a chip van visit is a special day. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your care home visit, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Bedham?
Compared with a takeaway delivery, a van serves hot food on site, so food is hot when it reaches residents. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
