Care home fish and chips in Duns Tew, fried fresh
Many residents prefer smaller portions on a plate, and we plan that with you. For residents’ family gatherings and a monthly fish and chip day, we will put together a menu of gravy, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
At a rural home near Duns Tew, access matters. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

Duns Tew questions
Is Duns Tew close to London?
About 62 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Duns Tew too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac residents in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Is grass a problem?
Normally, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
