How our care home fish and chips works in Bloxham
The care team knows each resident’s needs, so we work with the home on portions and diets. For care home summer fairs and seaside-themed afternoons, we can cook mushy peas, gravy and haddock and chips and more.
For a care home in a place like Bloxham, a van visit brings a bit of the seaside to residents. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

What else we do in Bloxham
Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.

About 65 miles from central London.
Which station is closest to Bloxham?

Is the food cooked at the event?

Can families and staff eat too?
Yes, and families love joining in.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.

Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.

Care home visits in Bloxham

Should I sort the food myself?
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 is crisp.
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 chip van compared with other options
A trip out to a restaurant is hard for many residents. A van brings the treat to them. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
Why us?

- Events in Bloxham and across Oxfordshire

What affects the price in Bloxham
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Distance and any road charges
- How easy the site is to reach
- Your choice of menu
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
