How our care home fish and chips works in Egham Wick
Many residents prefer smaller portions on a plate. We serve mushy peas, haddock and chips and pie and chips, and we’re frequently booked for birthday treats for residents and lunch clubs.
Rural care homes near Egham Wick can feel a long way from the seaside, so a van visit is a big occasion. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before you book.

Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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.

Egham Wick: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Egham Wick?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Could you trade in Riverside Walk?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first.
Can residents with special diets join in?
Yes: residents on soft diets can share the occasion with meals from your kitchen, following their care plans.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Children generally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac residents in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, Surrey included. See all areas.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a delivery order, the van cooks on site, so it isn’t lukewarm by the time it is plated. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your care home visit.
