Care home fish and chips in Charney Bassett, cooked to order
Residents on soft or texture-modified diets need special care, which the home’s own team prepares or advises on, so everyone can share the occasion safely. Typical bookings include retirement housing and sheltered schemes and seaside days, with mushy peas, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
Rural care homes near Charney Bassett can feel a long way from the seaside, so a chip van visit is a special day. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.

Is a fish and chip van right for your care home visit?
A themed afternoon with a van feels like a day out, without leaving the home. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
Why us?
- Rain does not stop the fryers
- Classic food your residents already know
- Hot food handed straight over
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy

How the day works
Changes on the day are fine: we’ll adjust start times and pace to suit your care home visit. In summer, Charney Bassett has daylight until about 9:25pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In December, with dark by about 4:00pm, lunchtime is best.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for residents.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Give us a contact for the day
- Share the timings for the day
