Care home fish and chips for your care home visit in Hollington
Some residents need texture-modified food, which the home’s own team prepares or advises on. For care home summer fairs and retirement housing and sheltered schemes, we can cook gravy, haddock and chips and cod and chips and more.
Near Hollington, residents may not get out much, so a chip van visit is a special day. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

Care home visits in Hollington
Hollington is about 5 miles south-west of Newbury, in West Berkshire. We cover Hollington as standard, so your care home visit just needs a date, a spot for the van and a serving time. We serve 155 places across West Berkshire, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Reading, about 20 miles away.
Visitors arriving by train should know that the closest railway station is Kintbury station, roughly 4.9 miles north-west of the centre. If your residents have links with Church of St Thomas, a fête or open day together is a nice moment for a van visit.

Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
