About our care home fish and chips in Donkey Town
Some residents come out to the van; others watch from inside, and families are welcome too. Whether it’s family days and birthday treats for residents, we can cook mushy peas, sausage and chips and cod and chips for your guests.
At a rural home near Donkey Town, access matters so we can plan the route. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your care home visit, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
How we price a fish and chip van visit
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- Your choice of menu
- The day of the week
- Any minimum charge
- The number of meals
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
What to tell us
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The date and time of the event
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
The home’s kitchen can make fish and chips, but a van makes it an event. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
