About our care home fish and chips in Chilworth
Smaller portions and plates with cutlery suit many residents. Typical bookings include retirement housing and sheltered schemes and day centre treats, serving haddock and chips, cod and chips and gravy.
Near Chilworth, residents may not get out much, so a chip van visit is a special day. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A seaside afternoon with a chip van feels special. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
