About our care home fish and chips in Deddington
Residents can watch from the window or come out to the hatch, and families can join in. We serve haddock and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater retirement village events and residents’ family gatherings.
Rural care homes near Deddington can feel a long way from the seaside, so a chip van visit is a special day. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Read how we price and what a fish and chip van costs.
How we price a fish and chip van visit
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The number of meals
- How long we serve
- Parking and the way in
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Your date and serving time
- Where the event is
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Ask about smaller portions
- Choose a spot away from ambulance routes
- Agree the plan with your kitchen and care team
- Arrange plates and trays for residents inside
Food for residents indoors goes straight in on plates.
A seaside theme with bunting adds to the fun.
Planning the van’s spot
Every site is different, so we will ask about yours when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- Close to the garden or entrance
- A level, firm spot such as the car park or drive
- Away from emergency access
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

Questions from Deddington
Is Deddington close to London?
About 62 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small places like Deddington?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
Are visitors included?
Yes, it is a lovely chance for families to visit.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for residents are worth planning.
Planners, venues and businesses
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
