Fresh fish and chips in Goosey
Care home fish and chips in Goosey, fried fresh
Smaller portions and plates with cutlery suit many residents. We serve sausage and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for care staff treats and a monthly fish and chip day.
At a rural home near Goosey, access matters so we can plan the route. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Goosey
Is Goosey close to London?
About 61 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is Goosey too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
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 will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Goosey.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Children usually love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.

About the food
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and children love it.
What happens on the day
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace. In Goosey, late spring and early autumn evenings stay light until about 9:00pm and 7:10pm; winter visits, dark by about 4:00pm, suit lunchtime.
- 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
- Keep space clear for residents at the hatch
- Clear the route for the van
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Looking after everyone

- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
We set up before the mealtime, quietly.
Old seaside postcards and photos spark conversation.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Service time
- How easy the site is to reach
- Cod, haddock or both
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.

For a quote, it helps to have:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- A picture of where the van would go
