About our care home fish and chips in Ifold
Residents can watch from the window or come out to the hatch, and families are welcome too. Typical bookings include themed afternoons and a monthly fish and chip day, serving pie and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
Rural care homes near Ifold can feel a long way from the seaside, so a chip van visit is a special day. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
Why choose care home fish and chips in Ifold?
The kitchen gets a day off cooking.
Almost any gathering works with a fish and chip van. People in Ifold book the van for occasions like:

Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Ifold
Do you come out to small places like Ifold?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Ifold close to London?
About 35 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Children usually love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Do you do residents’ portions?
We’ll agree portion sizes with your kitchen or care team.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
The process
Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. Afterwards we pack up. In summer, Ifold has daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden visits easy. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Let us know the serving time
