Care home fish and chips in Edgehill, fried fresh
We park close to the entrance or garden, away from emergency routes. For care home summer fairs and residents’ birthdays and anniversaries, we can cook mushy peas, sausage and chips and pie and chips for your guests.
Near Edgehill, residents may not get out much, so a chip van visit is a special day. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Organising for someone else?
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
Before you choose a spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A route in without tight gates
- Firm, level ground close to the home
- A lit spot for evening service
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
On the menu in Edgehill
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Gravy
A chip van compared with other options

What a fish and chip van costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How long we serve
- The number of meals
- Access and parking
- Distance and any road charges
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What to tell us
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Expected numbers
Send us the date, the address or OX15 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and we will reply with a quote. Just use our quote form.

Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Edgehill
Do you come out to small places like Edgehill?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Can residents with special diets join in?
Yes, with meals for texture-modified diets from the home’s own kitchen, following their care plans.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Do you do residents’ portions?
Portion sizes are agreed in advance.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your care home visit and we’ll send a quote.
About the food
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it is on the menu.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Occasions we serve in Edgehill
It brings families in.
Whatever the occasion in Edgehill, fish and chips from the hatch goes down well. We regularly serve:
- Fish and chip Fridays
- Residents’ birthdays and anniversaries
- Care home summer fairs
- Day centres and lunch clubs
If your residents have links with Church of St Peter, a fête or open day together is a nice moment for a van visit.
Questions to ask before booking
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Payment terms and deposit
- How allergens are handled
- The minimum number of meals or minimum spend
What happens on the day
Changes on the day are fine: we can start a little later or slow the pace. For a summer visit in Edgehill, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:30pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
