How our care home fish and chips works in Dunsbury

At a rural home near Dunsbury, access matters. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.

FAQs for Dunsbury
Can you serve near the sea around Dunsbury?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Is Dunsbury too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
Where will the van park?
Wherever suits the home, as long as it’s level and safe; we will check access.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, the Isle of Wight included. Find your area.
Can you do smaller portions for residents?
Tell us what you need and we will plan portion sizes with your team.
Space, access and the venue

- Not blocking ambulance bays
- A level parking spot near the entrance
For somewhere as remote as Dunsbury, early notice helps us plan the trip.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

The process
The first sign we have arrived is generally the smell. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. In summer, Dunsbury has daylight until about 9:20pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In December, with dark by about 4:05pm, lunchtime is best.
- The home tells us the date, numbers for residents, staff and visitors, and the best time to serve.
- We check the parking spot and send a price.
- We agree portion sizes and any diets with your kitchen or care team.
- We park up and cook to order at mealtime.
- We pack up quietly and leave the space tidy.
Before we arrive
- Let us know the serving time
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
