Fresh fish and chips in Eddington
How our care home fish and chips works in Eddington
Many residents prefer smaller portions on a plate. Typical bookings include sheltered housing get-togethers and residents’ family gatherings, serving sausage and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips.
Rural care homes near Eddington can feel a long way from the seaside, so a van visit is a big occasion. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

For planners, venues and organisers
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Eddington? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.

About the food
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
What the van needs
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Close to the garden or entrance
- Not right beside residents’ rooms
- Firm, level ground close to the home
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Questions from Eddington
Is Eddington too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Which areas do you serve?

How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Do you cover Eddington?

Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.

How it works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot when you are ready to eat. In summer, Eddington has daylight until about 9:25pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In winter, dark by about 4:00pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for residents.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Takeaway run or book a van?
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 cooks in front of your residents instead.

Is a fish and chip van right for your care home visit?
Next to a delivery order, a van serves hot food on site, so it isn’t lukewarm by the time it is plated. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your care home visit.
Why us?
