Care home fish and chips for your care home visit in Chartridge
Residents can watch from the window or come out to the hatch, and families are welcome too. Whether it is retirement housing and sheltered schemes and summer fêtes and open days, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, haddock and chips and cod and chips for your guests.
Rural care homes near Chartridge can feel a long way from the seaside, so a van visit is a big occasion. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

How we price a fish and chip van visit
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How long we serve
- The menu and how many choices
- The day of the week
- How far we travel
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
To speed things up, tell us:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A picture of where the van would go
- Your date and serving time
- Where the event is
Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will quote on that. Start when you’re ready: send us your details through our quote form.
What the van needs
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A level, firm spot such as the car park or drive
- Close to the garden or entrance
- Light near the van after dark
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a delivery order, the van cooks on site, so food is hot when it reaches residents. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
Why us?
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- Hot food handed straight over
- All the chip-shop extras
- No kitchen needed

For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
