Planning an event in Bury?
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

Care home fish and chips for your care home visit in Bury
Some residents need texture-modified food, which the home’s own team prepares or advises on, so everyone can share the occasion safely. Typical bookings include visiting days and lunch for the care team, serving cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
Rural care homes near Bury can feel a long way from the seaside, so a van visit is a big occasion. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.

How it works
Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. Afterwards we pack up. Garden visits in Bury work best between late spring and early autumn, with sunset about 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September; in winter, keep it to lunchtime.

- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.

Planning help
For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- A spot residents can enjoy, inside or out
- Not blocking ambulance bays
- Away from bedroom windows
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Entertainers and activities are great; a van visit combines a meal with an activity. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.

Bury questions
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?

What’s the nearest station to Bury?
The closest is Amberley station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.

Yes, and families love joining in.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Is the fish gluten-free?
