About our care home fish and chips in Buscot
The care team knows each resident’s needs, so we work with the home on portions and diets. Whether it is care home summer fairs and fish and chip Fridays, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips and more.
At a rural home near Buscot, access matters. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

A chip van compared with other options
Your kitchen could cook it, but a van turns it into an occasion. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
Why book with us
- All the chip-shop extras
- Served hot, straight from the hatch

Buscot questions
Is Buscot close to London?
About 69 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is Buscot too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Buscot.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Residents will appreciate cover near the hatch.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Are visitors included?
Of course. Just include them in your numbers.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Check the spot with your manager
- Arrange plates and trays for residents inside
- Involve the kitchen and care team early
- Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen
Staff carry plates to residents who can’t come outside, while it is hot.
A seaside theme with bunting adds to the fun.
