About our care home fish and chips in Boughton Green
Smaller portions and plates with cutlery suit many residents. We’re often asked to cater summer fêtes and open days and lunch for the care team, serving mushy peas, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
At a rural home near Boughton Green, access matters. Everything is fried fresh at your care home visit, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Boughton Green
How far is Boughton Green from London?
About 33 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Boughton Green?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Are visitors included?
Yes, and families love joining in.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Can you come every month?
We’re happy to talk about repeat visits.

What else we do in Boughton Green
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Organise staff to carry food in
- Count families who are joining in
- Check the spot with your manager
- Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen
Visitors are welcome if included in numbers.
Seaside photos give people something to talk about.
What the van needs
We will be honest if a spot won’t work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- Not blocking ambulance bays
- Light near the van after dark
- Access the van can manage
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
What we serve
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
- Gravy
- Mushy peas
For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and children love it.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
