Care home fish and chips in Corhampton
Care home fish and chips for your care home visit in Corhampton
Many residents prefer smaller portions on a plate, and we plan that with you. Typical bookings include residents’ birthdays and anniversaries and sheltered housing get-togethers, serving gravy, mushy peas and pie and chips.
For a care home near Corhampton, tell us about lanes and the drive so we can plan the route. Everything is fried fresh at your care home visit, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
Step by step
We don’t cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. In summer, Corhampton has daylight until about 9:20pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In winter, dark by about 4:00pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- First, tell us about your care home visit.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for residents.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep space clear for residents at the hatch
- Make sure the van can get in
- Give us a contact for the day
Getting a price
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, use our quote form.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Parking and the way in
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The length of service
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
The cost per head typically 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.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Expected numbers
- A picture of where the van would go
- Anything awkward about the way in
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you are ready, use our quote form.
For event organisers in Corhampton
