About our care home fish and chips in Eastry
For many residents, fish and chips brings back seaside trips and Friday nights. A van in the car park makes mealtime an occasion. For summer fêtes and open days and themed afternoons, we can cook pie and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips and more.
In Eastry, care homes, a chip van visit is a real treat. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your care home visit, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Your kitchen could cook it, but a van turns it into an occasion. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
Why book with us
- Something for residents to gather round
- No kitchen needed
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- Hot food handed straight over
Questions from Eastry
Could you trade in Ham Fen?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
How far is Eastry from London?
Roughly 63 miles from the centre of London.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Do you do residents’ portions?
We will agree portion sizes with your kitchen or care team.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac residents and we will explain the options before you book.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
