Care home fish and chips in Boarshead, cooked to order
Smaller portions and plates with cutlery suit many residents. Typical bookings include day centres and lunch clubs and seaside-themed afternoons, serving gravy, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
At a rural home near Boarshead, access matters. 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.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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 normally the easier option.

Questions from Boarshead
Is Boarshead close to London?
About 32 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Boarshead?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.

The process
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. For a summer visit in Boarshead, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:15pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Make sure the van can get in
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
