Care home fish and chips in Fulbrook, cooked to order
We visit care homes, retirement housing, sheltered schemes and day centres, for one-off events and regular visits. On the menu are cod and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re often booked for visiting days and staff thank-you lunches at the home.
Rural care homes near Fulbrook can feel a long way from the seaside, so a chip van visit is a special day. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Common questions in Fulbrook
What’s the nearest station to Fulbrook?
The closest is Shipton station, roughly 3.8 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Fulbrook?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
What about residents on soft diets?
The home knows each resident best. Tell us about any diets and we will explain what we can offer; texture-modified meals should be prepared or advised on by your own team.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for residents are worth planning.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
What the van needs
If a spot isn’t suitable, we will tell you. What matters most:
- Lighting for later visits
- A clear way in for the van
- Away from bedroom windows
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
