Care home fish and chips for your care home visit in Brize Norton
Some residents need texture-modified food, which the home’s own team prepares or advises on. We serve haddock and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for summer fêtes and open days and friday fish and chip treats.
At a rural home near Brize Norton, access matters so we can plan the route. 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 is handed over.

How far is Brize Norton from London?
Roughly 66 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac residents in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.

- Light near the van after dark

- Not right beside residents’ rooms
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
