About our care home fish and chips in Horton
For many residents, fish and chips brings back seaside trips and Friday nights. A van visit turns a meal into an event. We’re frequently asked to cater care staff treats and day centres and lunch clubs, serving sausage and chips, pie and chips and gravy.
At a rural home near Horton, access matters so we can plan the route. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.
The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.

Questions from Horton
How far is Horton from London?
Roughly 19 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What’s the nearest station to Horton?
The closest is Sunnymeads station, roughly 1 mile away.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is typically simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac residents and we will explain the options.
How it works
Here’s how the day normally runs: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot when you are ready to eat. With darkness by about 3:55pm in December, winter van visits in Horton suit lunchtime.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for residents.

Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
