About our care home fish and chips in East Burnham
Many residents prefer smaller portions on a plate. We serve gravy, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater lunch for the care team and fish and chip Fridays.
Rural care homes near East Burnham can feel a long way from the seaside, so a chip van visit is a special day. We cook inside the van, right where your residents are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
Where the van can park in East Burnham

- Clear of ambulance access and emergency routes
- Firm, level ground close to the home

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

What else we do in East Burnham
Working with your venue
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Organising a club, school or community event in East Burnham? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.
Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.

Questions from East Burnham
How far is East Burnham from London?
About 23 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station is closest to East Burnham?
Burnham station, about 1.9 miles south-west of the centre.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Can the van park on grass?
Usually, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can portions be smaller?
We will agree portion sizes with your kitchen or care team.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Residents will appreciate cover near the hatch.
