Care home fish and chips in Hersham, cooked to order
We park close to the entrance or garden, clear of ambulance access. On the menu are gravy, haddock and chips and mushy peas, and we are frequently booked for seaside days and day centre treats.
In Hersham, care homes, a chip van visit is a real treat. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. In summer, Hersham has daylight until about 9:20pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for residents.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can call on the day

A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Entertainers and activities are great; a van visit combines a meal with an activity. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.
