For planners, venues and organisers
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Care home fish and chips for your care home visit in Conyer
Your team knows your residents best, so we work with the home on portions and diets. We serve gravy, mushy peas and cod and chips, and we’re frequently booked for fish and chip Fridays and care home summer fairs.
Near Conyer, residents may not get out much, so a chip van visit is a special day. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

What else we do in Conyer
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Choose a time around meals and medication
- Plan how food reaches residents indoors
- Ask about smaller portions
Food for residents indoors goes straight in on plates, while it’s hot.
Make it a regular event.
The menu, dish by dish
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
How it works
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. In Conyer, late spring and early autumn evenings stay light until about 8:50pm and 7:00pm; winter visits, dark by about 3:50pm, suit lunchtime.
