Monthly or seasonal visits become a highlight. Whether it’s sheltered housing get-togethers and care staff treats, we can cook gravy, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
For a care home near Hartley Mauditt, tell us about lanes and the drive so we can plan the route. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your care home visit, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
What the van needs
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
- Not blocking ambulance bays
- Access the van can manage

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
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 you get to enjoy the day.
A chip van compared with other options
Next to a delivery order, the van cooks on site, so food is hot when it reaches residents. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
What you get with us
- Classic food your residents already know
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
Read our prices page and our guide to van hire costs.
Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Keep the van clear of emergency access
- Fit the visit around routines
- Involve the kitchen and care team early
- Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen
Residents in their rooms get food on a covered tray straight away.
A regular date gives everyone something to look forward to.

The process
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss. For a summer visit in Hartley Mauditt, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In December, with dark by about 4:00pm, lunchtime is best.
