About our care home fish and chips in Fyfield
For many residents, fish and chips brings back seaside trips and Friday nights. A van visit turns a meal into an event. Typical bookings include seaside-themed afternoons and residents’ birthdays and anniversaries, serving cod and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips.
At a rural home near Fyfield, access matters. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your care home visit, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?

Fyfield: your questions answered
Is Fyfield too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Fyfield close to London?
Roughly 67 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
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’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
Can staff have lunch from the van?
Of course. Add them to your numbers.
A chip van compared with other options
Compared with a takeaway delivery, the van cooks on site, so food is hot when it reaches residents. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.
