Care home fish and chips in Godden Green
How our care home fish and chips works in Godden Green
Staff get a break from the usual routine. Popular choices include haddock and chips, pie and chips and cod and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater seaside days and lunch for the care team.
Rural care homes near Godden Green can feel a long way from the seaside, so a van visit is a big occasion. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Whether a minimum applies
- The length of service
- The day of the week
- How many people are eating
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your care home visit.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- The venue or postcode
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Your date and serving time
Send us the date, the address or TN15 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and you’ll get a clear price. Just send us your details through our quote form.
How the day works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. For a summer visit in Godden Green, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden visits easy. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for residents.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
