Care home fish and chips in Dunton
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Care home fish and chips in Dunton, fried fresh
Some residents need texture-modified food, which the home’s own team prepares or advises on. For fish and chip Fridays and lunch clubs, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, gravy and sausage and chips for your guests.

Dunton questions
How far is Dunton from London?
About 42 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is Dunton too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is generally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac residents when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for residents are worth planning.
Where should the van go?
On a level spot in the car park or drive, clear of emergency access.
Do you offer repeat visits?
Tell us how frequently you’d like a visit.

What the van needs
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Lighting for later visits
- With the serving side away from windows
- Close to the garden or entrance
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What affects the price in Dunton
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Parking and the way in
- How far we travel
- The day of the week
- Service time
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Where you’d like the van to go
It is easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will come back with a clear quote.

The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.
Step by step
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served. In summer, Dunton has daylight until about 9:25pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- First, tell us about your care home visit.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for residents.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Keep space clear for residents at the hatch
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
