About our care home fish and chips in Bonnington
Some residents come out to the van; others watch from inside, and families can join in. We’re frequently asked to cater retirement housing and sheltered schemes and family days, with pie and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
Rural care homes near Bonnington can feel a long way from the seaside, so a chip van visit is a special day. Everything is fried fresh at your care home visit, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
What a fish and chip van costs
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- The minimum booking
- The number of meals
- Access and parking
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Details that help
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Your date and serving time
- Where the event is
- Any dietary needs and allergies
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.
