About our care home fish and chips in Bekesbourne
It gives the kitchen and care staff a change. We serve cod and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re frequently booked for staff thank-you lunches at the home and summer fêtes and open days.
At a rural home near Bekesbourne, access matters so we can plan the route. Everything is fried fresh at your care home visit, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Planning the van’s spot
We’ll be honest if a spot will not work. The main points are:
- A level, firm spot such as the car park or drive
- Not right beside residents’ rooms
- Lighting for later visits
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Is Bekesbourne close to London?
About 56 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
Do you come to Bekesbourne?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Bekesbourne and the rest of Kent. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Can you park at the home?
In the car park or on the drive, away from ambulance routes.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your care home visit and we’ll send a quote.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Ask about smaller portions
- Agree the plan with your kitchen and care team
- Tell us about residents’ needs in writing
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
Room service goes up covered and hot.
Families love being included.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally 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.
How the day works
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can enjoy your care home visit. For a summer visit in Bekesbourne, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:15pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In winter, dark by about 3:50pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- We start with the date, numbers and a serving time that suits the home.
- We check where the van can park and send a quote.
- We plan portions and dietary needs with the home.
- On the day we set up and fry fresh, serving at the agreed time.
- Afterwards, we pack up quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Clear the route for the van
