Fresh fish and chips in Chartwell Green
DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
About our care home fish and chips in Chartwell Green
A regular visit gives everyone something to look forward to in the calendar. For family days and friday fish and chip treats, we can cook sausage and chips, haddock and chips and gravy and more.
For a care home in a place like Chartwell Green, a van visit brings a bit of the seaside to residents. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Common questions in Chartwell Green
Which station is closest to Chartwell Green?
Swaythling station, about 1.4 miles north-west of the centre.
What about events near the coast?
Yes. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
About the food
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

Step by step
Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch when you are ready to eat. For a summer visit in Chartwell Green, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:25pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In winter, dark by about 4:00pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- The home tells us the date, numbers for residents, staff and visitors, and the best time to serve.
- We check where the van can park and send a quote.
- We agree portion sizes and any diets with your kitchen or care team.
- On the day we set up and fry fresh, serving at the agreed time.
- Afterwards, we pack up quietly.
