How our care home fish and chips works in Greenham

For a care home near Greenham, tell us about lanes and the drive. 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.

Questions from Greenham
Which station is closest to Greenham?
Newbury Racecourse station, about 0.9 miles north of the centre.
Can the van park in Sandleford Priory?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, West Berkshire included. Find your area.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
What about residents on soft diets?
The home knows each resident best. Share the diets and we’ll say what we can do; soft and texture-modified meals should come from your kitchen.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac residents when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
How we price a fish and chip van visit
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- How long we serve
- Numbers
- Any minimum charge
- The day of the week
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your care home visit.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- A picture of the parking spot
- The address or venue name
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Expected numbers
Not sure of numbers yet? That is fine: tell us the basics about your care home visit, and we will firm it up nearer the time. To start, use our quote form.

The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger residents and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
The process
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. For a summer visit in Greenham, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:25pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In December, with dark by about 4:00pm, lunchtime is best.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
