Care home fish and chips in Kiln Green, cooked to order
For many residents, fish and chips brings back seaside trips and Friday nights. A van in the car park makes mealtime an occasion. We are often asked to cater day centre treats and open days for families, with cod and chips, sausage and chips and gravy.
At a rural home near Kiln Green, access matters so we can plan the route. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

How we price a fish and chip van visit
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- The date and time of year
- How far we travel
- Service time
- Access and parking
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.

Common questions in Kiln Green
What’s the nearest station to Kiln Green?
The closest is Wargrave station, roughly 2 miles away.
Is Kiln Green close to London?
About 32 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
What can residents choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Are visitors included?
Of course. Add them to your numbers.
Planners, venues and businesses
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 confirm what we can provide.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- List residents’ diets, allergies and portion needs
- Plan it with your catering manager
- Ask about smaller portions
- Arrange plates and trays for residents inside
Residents in their rooms get food on a covered tray right away.
Inviting families makes it even more special.
How the day works
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. With darkness by about 3:55pm in December, winter van visits in Kiln Green suit lunchtime, while summer visits can run into the evening, with light until about 9:25pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for residents.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Let us know the serving time
