How our care home fish and chips works in Goose Green
Smaller portions and plates with cutlery suit many residents. Typical bookings include retirement village events and day centre treats, serving mushy peas, gravy and cod and chips.
Rural care homes near Goose Green can feel a long way from the seaside, so a chip van visit is a special day. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Questions from Goose Green
Do you come out to small places like Goose Green?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Goose Green close to London?
Roughly 40 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Goose Green.
Where should the van go?
Wherever suits the home, as long as it’s level and safe; we will check access.
Can you do smaller portions for residents?
We’ll agree portion sizes with your kitchen or care team.
Do you offer repeat visits?
Yes, ask us about regular dates.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Usually, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Step by step
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. Garden visits in Goose Green work best between late spring and early autumn, with sunset about 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September; in winter, keep it to lunchtime.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare

Space, access and the venue
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- With the serving side away from windows
- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
- Light near the van after dark
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
What we serve
- Pie and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Gravy
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
