About our care home fish and chips in Hungerford
The van parks in the car park, on the drive or on a firm lawn, clear of ambulance access. We’re frequently asked to cater day centre treats and care home summer fairs, with haddock and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas.
Around Hungerford, homes often have a drive and garden. Let us know about the way in. Everything is fried fresh at your care home visit, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

What affects the price in Hungerford
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Any minimum charge
- How easy the site is to reach
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.

- Expected numbers
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Where the event is
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A photo of the spot helps too. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.
