A chip van near Lathbury
Care home fish and chips in Lathbury, cooked to order
The van parks in the car park, on the drive or on a firm lawn, clear of ambulance access. We’re frequently asked to cater retirement housing and sheltered schemes and a monthly fish and chip day, with gravy, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
At a rural home near Lathbury, access matters. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

FAQs for Lathbury
Is Lathbury close to London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station is closest to Lathbury?
The closest is Wolverton station, roughly 4.2 miles away.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac residents in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is normally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
