Care home fish and chips for your care home visit in Charing Hill
Your team knows your residents best, so we plan portion sizes, timings and diets with the home. For day centre treats and a monthly fish and chip day, we can cook haddock and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
Near Charing Hill, residents may not get out much, so a chip van visit is a special day. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Entertainers and activities are great; a van visit is both. Larger groups generally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Prices and what affects them
We’ll give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- The date and time of year
- Parking and the way in
- The length of service
- How many people are eating
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us
These details help us quote quickly:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The date and time of the event
- Where the event is
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll quote on that. Start when you’re ready: use our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
