Care home fish and chips in Lashenden, cooked to order
Residents can watch from the window or come out to the hatch, and families can join in. For seaside-themed afternoons and staff thank-you lunches at the home, we will put together a menu of haddock and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips for your guests.
At a rural home near Lashenden, access matters. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Plan how food reaches residents indoors
- Choose a spot away from ambulance routes
- Ask about smaller portions
- Involve the kitchen and care team early
Staff carry plates to residents who cannot come outside.
A bit of music from residents’ younger days helps.

A closer look at the menu
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Organising for someone else?
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
