About our care home fish and chips in Chicheley
Monthly or seasonal visits become a highlight in the calendar. On the menu are cod and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for residents’ birthdays and anniversaries and day centre treats.
Near Chicheley, residents may not get out much, so a chip van visit is a special day. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a takeaway delivery, a van serves hot food on site, so it isn’t lukewarm by the time it’s plated. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
Why Chicheley hosts choose us
- All the chip-shop extras
- A clear quote before booking
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking

What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips, perfect with gravy.

Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Plan how food reaches residents indoors
- Plan it with your catering manager
- Count families who are joining in
- Tell us about residents’ needs in writing
Food for residents indoors goes straight in on plates.
A bit of music from residents’ younger days helps.

We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
