Fresh fish and chips in Ivybridge
Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
About our care home fish and chips in Ivybridge
Residents on soft or texture-modified diets need special care, which should come from the home’s own kitchen and care team, so everyone can share the occasion safely. We’re often asked to cater staff thank-you lunches at the home and seaside-themed afternoons, with cod and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips.
For a care home in Ivybridge, a short stay in the car park works well, as agreed with the manager. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Ivybridge questions
What about parking in Ivybridge?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
Can the van park in Inwood Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
Where will the van park?
Wherever suits the home, as long as it’s level and safe; we’ll check access.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Ivybridge.
Do you offer repeat visits?
We’re happy to talk about repeat visits.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.

Planning the van’s spot
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Access the van can manage
- A spot residents can enjoy, inside or out
- A lit spot for evening service
Ivybridge is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Working with your venue
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Ask about smaller portions
- Arrange plates and trays for residents inside
- Pick a time that suits the home’s day
- Arrange texture-modified meals from your own kitchen
Food for residents indoors goes straight in on plates, while it’s hot.
Music from the 1950s and 60s sets the mood.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
