How our care home fish and chips works in Fewcott
Monthly or seasonal visits become a highlight. On the menu are cod and chips, haddock and chips and gravy, and we are regularly asked to cater retirement housing and sheltered schemes and staff thank-you lunches at the home.
Rural care homes near Fewcott can feel a long way from the seaside, so a chip van visit is a special day. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Working with your venue
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.

What happens on the day
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your residents, and we agree exactly where before the day. Garden visits in Fewcott work best between late spring and early autumn, with sunset about 9:00pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September; in winter, keep it to lunchtime.

Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A lit spot for evening service
- A level, firm spot such as the car park or drive
- Not right beside residents’ rooms
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What affects the price in Fewcott
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The minimum booking
- Parking and the way in
- Service time
- The number of meals
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Expected numbers
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A picture of the space and the way in
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will come back with a clear quote.
Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Organise staff to carry food in
- Involve the kitchen and care team early
- List residents’ diets, allergies and portion needs
- Choose a time around meals and medication
Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Make it a regular event.
