How our care home fish and chips works in Broughton
Many residents prefer smaller portions on a plate, and we plan that with you. On the menu are sausage and chips, gravy and cod and chips, and we’re often booked for retirement village events and residents’ birthdays and anniversaries.
Near Broughton, residents may not get out much, so a van visit is a big occasion. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Organise staff to carry food in
- Let us know if smaller portions suit
- Tell us about residents’ needs in writing
- Agree the plan with your kitchen and care team
Families can join in, with numbers agreed in advance.
Music from the 1950s and 60s sets the mood.
The process
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. In summer, Broughton has daylight until about 9:30pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- We start with a few details about your care home visit.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for residents.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Make sure the van can get in
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Let us know the serving time

Broughton: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Broughton?
The closest is Banbury station, roughly 2.7 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Broughton?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can you park at the home?
On a level spot in the car park or drive, clear of emergency access.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a takeaway delivery, a van serves hot food on site, so food is hot when it reaches residents. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
