Care home fish and chips for Horsell events
Cannot 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.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Care home fish and chips in Horsell, fried fresh
Some residents need texture-modified food, which the home’s own team prepares or advises on. For birthday treats for residents and seaside-themed afternoons, we can cook pie and chips, mushy peas and gravy for your guests.
For a care home in a place like Horsell, a chip van visit is a real treat. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Distance and any road charges
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Parking and the way in
- Numbers
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Getting an accurate quote
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The address or venue name
- A picture of where the van would go

Questions from Horsell
How far is Horsell from London?
About 23 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can the van park in Milford Green and Coxhill Green?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How much does a fish and chip van visit cost in Horsell?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for residents.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can portions be smaller?
Tell us what you need and we will plan portion sizes with your team.
Do you offer repeat visits?
Tell us how often you’d like a visit.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Share residents’ diets and allergies with us
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Let us know if smaller portions suit
- Agree the plan with your kitchen and care team
