Care home fish and chips in Farnham, fried fresh
Fish and chips stirs happy memories for many older people. A van in the car park makes mealtime an occasion. For themed afternoons and residents’ celebrations, we can cook sausage and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.
In Farnham, a garden visit on a sunny day works beautifully, if the van can park nearby. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
How the day works
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with frying and serving. With darkness by about 3:55pm in December, winter van visits in Farnham suit lunchtime, while summer visits can run into the evening, with light until about 9:20pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Keep space clear for residents at the hatch
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Where the van can park in Farnham
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- A spot residents can enjoy, inside or out
- Clear of ambulance access and emergency routes
- With the serving side away from windows
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

What affects the price in Farnham

- How long we serve
- Your choice of menu
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Any minimum charge
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
