A fish and chip van or other catering?

How our care home fish and chips works in Jealott's Hill
Some residents need texture-modified food, which should come from the home’s own kitchen and care team. Typical bookings include day centre treats and care staff treats, serving gravy, haddock and chips and pie and chips.
Near Jealott's Hill, residents may not get out much, so a van visit is a big occasion. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
- 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
