Care home fish and chips for Charleshill events
Care home fish and chips in Charleshill, cooked to order
The care team knows each resident’s needs, so we plan portion sizes, timings and diets with the home. Typical bookings include lunch for the care team and care home summer fairs, serving gravy, pie and chips and cod and chips.
Near Charleshill, residents may not get out much, so a chip van visit is a special day. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
Planning a van visit in Charleshill
Charleshill is about 3 miles south-east of Farnham, in Surrey. We park up at drives, car parks, yards and venues around Charleshill and nearby villages. We cover all 395 towns and villages across Surrey. Our nearest city page is Guildford, about 8 miles away.
For families visiting by train, the closest railway station is Farnham station, roughly 3.2 miles north-west of the centre. A care home summer fair, perhaps with a church like Church of St James, is a good occasion for a van visit. Charleshill is within about 6 miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape.
We serve care home visits across GU10 and the streets around it. Local streets include Farnham Road and Whitmead Road; a care home visit on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. With the B3001 close by, Charleshill is easy for us to reach for your care home visit. Other places close to Charleshill we cover include Tilford (1 mile west), Elstead (1 mile south-east), Tilford Common (2 miles south-west), Tilford Reeds (2 miles west) and Rushmoor (3 miles south-west). Further out, we also take the van to Guildford (8 miles north-east), Woking (11 miles north-east), Camberley (10 miles north), Farnham (3 miles north-west), Frimley (8 miles north) and Haslemere (7 miles south).
A little further out are Milford Hospital (4.6 miles east) and Seale and Tongham (1.9 miles north). Within reach you’ll find Runfold Wood and Upper Lake.
- Local pubs include The Donkey pub (less than half a mile south-east)
How the day works
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your care home visit. In summer, Charleshill has daylight until about 9:20pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- First, tell us about your care home visit.

- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.

Should I sort the food myself?

Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.

Is a fish and chip van right for your care home visit?
Compared with a takeaway delivery, a van serves hot food on site, so food is hot when it reaches residents. Larger groups usually cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why us?
- Hot food handed straight over
- Something for residents to gather round
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
