Why choose a fish and chip van in Caulcott?
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.
Why us?
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Events in Caulcott and across Oxfordshire
- No kitchen needed
Take a look at our prices page and the cost guide.
Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Plan it with your catering manager
- Arrange plates and trays for residents inside
- Keep the van clear of emergency access
- List residents’ diets, allergies and portion needs
We arrive in good time to park and heat the fryers, quietly.
Seaside photos give people something to talk about.
The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger residents and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Working with your venue
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking 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.
What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. In summer, Caulcott 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.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for residents.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Make sure the van can get in
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
