Care home fish and chips in Brockbridge
How the day works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. In Brockbridge, late spring and early autumn evenings stay light until about 8:55pm and 7:10pm; for winter visits, choose lunchtime.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for residents.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Make sure the van can get in
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

How our care home fish and chips works in Brockbridge
Fish and chips stirs happy memories for many older people. A van visit turns a meal into an event. Typical bookings include staff thank-you lunches at the home and summer fêtes and open days, serving haddock and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas.
At a rural home near Brockbridge, access matters so we can plan the route. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Common questions in Brockbridge
How far is Brockbridge from London?
About 58 miles from central London.
Is Brockbridge too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Can the van come to Brockbridge?
We do. We serve events in Brockbridge and across Hampshire. Send us your date to check availability.
Can everyone take part?
Yes: residents on soft diets can share the occasion with meals from your kitchen, following their care plans.
Is a fish and chip van right for your care home visit?
The home’s kitchen can make fish and chips, but a van turns it into an occasion. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your care home visit.
