Care home fish and chips in Enton Green, cooked to order
A regular visit gives everyone something to look forward to in the calendar. We serve sausage and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas, and we’re regularly asked to cater retirement housing and sheltered schemes and residents’ birthdays and anniversaries.
At a rural home near Enton Green, access matters. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
Planning the van’s spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Not blocking ambulance bays
- A route in without tight gates
- With the serving side away from windows
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
