Care home fish and chips in Bentworth
How our care home fish and chips works in Bentworth
A regular visit gives everyone something to look forward to in the calendar. For sheltered housing get-togethers and fish and chip Fridays, we can cook haddock and chips, gravy and pie and chips for your guests.
Near Bentworth, residents may not get out much, so a van visit is a big occasion. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a delivery order, a van serves hot food on site, so it is not lukewarm by the time it is plated. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
Why us?
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- A menu almost everyone likes
- No surprises in your quote

Your timings come first. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Sunset in Bentworth is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September; winter visits, dark by about 4:00pm, suit lunchtime.
- We start with a few details about your care home visit.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for residents.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Bentworth questions
Is Bentworth close to London?
About 47 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small places like Bentworth?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can portions be smaller?
We’ll agree portion sizes with your kitchen or care team.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including Hampshire. Find your area.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before booking.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
