Care home fish and chips in Hall's Green, fried fresh
Your team knows your residents best, so we plan portion sizes, timings and diets with the home. For day centres and lunch clubs and sheltered housing get-togethers, we can cook gravy, sausage and chips and cod and chips for your guests.
Near Hall's Green, residents may not get out much, so a chip van visit is a special day. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
What a fish and chip van costs
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- Your choice of menu
- Parking and the way in
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Service time
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 we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- Expected numbers
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of the parking spot
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Plan IDDSI-level meals with your own team
- Choose a time around meals and medication

- Count families who are joining in
Food for residents indoors goes straight in on plates.
A seaside theme with bunting adds to the fun.
