Care home fish and chips in Hanworth

About our care home fish and chips in Hanworth

Smaller portions and plates with cutlery suit many residents. We’re often asked to cater retirement village events and lunch for the care team, serving haddock and chips, pie and chips and gravy.

Care homes around Hanworth are often in converted houses with a drive. Let us know about the way in. 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.

Old photos of Heath Lake can spark conversation during a van visit. A care home summer fair, perhaps with a church like St Michael and St Mary Magdalene's Church, is a good occasion for a van visit.

Wherever your care home visit is in RG12 and RG40, we can bring the van to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes.

Planning for dietary needs

With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:

  • Plan it with your catering manager
  • Plan portion sizes with us
  • Count families who are joining in
  • Arrange texture-modified meals from your own kitchen

Visitors are welcome if included in numbers.

A seaside theme with bunting adds to the fun.

Should I sort the food myself?

A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

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.

Step by step

We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. Sunset in Hanworth is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September; winter visits, dark by about 3:55pm, suit lunchtime.

  1. Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
  2. We come back with availability and a clear price.
  3. The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
  4. Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
  5. The pitch is left tidy when we go.

Before we arrive

  • Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
  • Let us know who to talk to on the day
  • Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Choosing a fish and chip van

Prices and what affects them

Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:

  • The length of service
  • Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
  • Your choice of menu
  • How far we travel

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.

What to tell us

Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:

  • Allergies and diets you know about
  • Rough numbers for adults and children
  • Where the event is
  • How to get in: gates, lanes and ground

Still finalising the details? That is fine: tell us the basics about your care home visit, and we will quote on that. Start when you’re ready: fill in our quote form.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

Compared with a takeaway delivery, a van serves hot food on site, so it isn’t lukewarm by the time it’s plated. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your care home visit.

Why book our van in Hanworth

  • The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
  • Classic food your residents already know
  • No kitchen needed
  • No surprises in your quote
