Care home fish and chips in Chobham, cooked to order
Monthly or seasonal visits become a highlight in the calendar. For themed afternoons and staff thank-you lunches at the home, we can cook mushy peas, sausage and chips and pie and chips.
Care homes around Chobham are frequently in converted houses with a drive. Tell us about access. We cook inside the van, right where your residents are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

What the van needs
If a spot is not suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Firm, level ground close to the home
- Lighting for later visits
- Away from bedroom windows
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A seaside afternoon with a chip van feels special. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
What you get with us
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side

Why choose care home fish and chips in Chobham?
Homes book a fish and chip van because residents love it, and it sparks conversation.
The van suits big events and small ones. Typical bookings include:
- Themed afternoons
- Day centre treats
- Summer fêtes and open days

A care home summer fair, perhaps with a church like Church of St Lawrence, is a good occasion for a van visit.

For event organisers in Chobham
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
How we price a fish and chip van visit
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- How many people are eating
- How far we travel
- The length of service
- Your choice of menu
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
What we need to know
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- The venue or postcode
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The spot you have in mind for the van

Chobham questions
What’s the nearest station to Chobham?
The closest is Longcross station, roughly 2.3 miles away.
Can the van park in Milford Green and Coxhill Green?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first.
What does the van need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Can families and staff eat too?
Yes, and families love joining in.
Can you come every month?
Ask us about repeat dates when you enquire.
What can residents choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Keep the van clear of emergency access
- Plan IDDSI-level meals with your own team
- Choose a time around meals and medication
- Arrange plates and trays for residents inside
Service fits around the home’s routines.
Old seaside postcards and photos spark conversation.
