Care home fish and chips for Felderland events
Care home fish and chips in Felderland, fried fresh
Residents on soft or texture-modified diets need special care, which should come from the home’s own kitchen and care team. We’re frequently asked to cater seaside days and lunch for the care team, with pie and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
Rural care homes near Felderland can feel a long way from the seaside, so a chip van visit is a special day. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your care home visit, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
Questions from Felderland
Which station is closest to Felderland?
Sandwich station, about 1 mile north-east of the centre.
Is Felderland too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What can residents choose from?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac residents when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
Do you come to Felderland?
Yes, we do. Felderland is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.

Planning help
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
