The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order.
Where the van can park in Bray Wick
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Light near the van after dark
- Access the van can manage

The process
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with frying and serving. In summer, Bray Wick has daylight until about 9:25pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.

Planning help
Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
