Care home fish and chips in Furzedown, fried fresh
Many residents prefer smaller portions on a plate, and we plan that with you. On the menu are pie and chips, gravy and haddock and chips, and we are often booked for summer fêtes and open days and themed afternoons.
Care homes in Furzedown often have a small car park or drive, so we plan a spot that keeps emergency access clear. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

How we price a fish and chip van visit
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Service time
- The number of meals
- Any minimum charge
- Cod, haddock or both
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rough numbers for adults and children
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and we will reply with a quote. Just fill in our quote form.
For event organisers in Furzedown
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.
Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
How the day works
Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. In Furzedown, late spring and early autumn evenings stay light until about 8:50pm and 7:05pm; winter visits, dark by about 3:55pm, suit lunchtime.
- It starts with your date, numbers and mealtime.
- We check the parking spot and send a price.
- We plan portions and dietary needs with the home.
- On the day we set up and fry fresh, serving at the agreed time.
- We clear up and leave the car park as we found it.
How to prepare
- Let us know the serving time
- Ensure the van can get in
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
