How our care home fish and chips works in Bledington
For many residents, fish and chips brings back seaside trips and Friday nights. A van in the car park makes mealtime an occasion. For birthday treats for residents and seaside days, we will put together a menu of haddock and chips, mushy peas and gravy and more.
At a rural home near Bledington, access matters so we can plan the route. 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.

Planning help
Planners, venues and businesses
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few residents with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Let us know if smaller portions suit
- Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen
- Keep the van clear of emergency access
Room service goes up covered and hot.
Old seaside postcards and photos spark conversation.
