Care home fish and chips for your care home visit in Epsom
Care homes, retirement housing and day centres all book visits, for one-off events and regular visits. We’re frequently asked to cater family days and residents’ birthdays and anniversaries, serving cod and chips, gravy and haddock and chips.
In a town like Epsom, care homes, sheltered housing and day centres all book visits. We park in the car park or on the drive. We cook inside the van, right where your residents are, 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. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
Why book our van in Epsom
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- Classic food your residents already know

How the day works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. In summer, Epsom has daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden visits easy. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- The home tells us the date, numbers for residents, staff and visitors, and the best time to serve.
- You get an access check and a clear quote.
- We plan portions and dietary needs with the home.
- On the day we set up and fry fresh, serving at the agreed time.
- Afterwards, we pack up quietly.
Getting ready for the day
