About our care home fish and chips in Latimer
The van parks in the car park, on the drive or on a firm lawn, away from emergency routes. Popular choices include cod and chips, haddock and chips and gravy, and we are frequently booked for day centre treats and themed afternoons.
For a care home near Latimer, tell us about lanes and the drive so we can plan the route. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Planning help
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A trip out to a restaurant is hard for many residents. The van comes to the home. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Why us?
- Quick service from the hatch
- Events in Latimer and across Buckinghamshire
- A menu almost everyone likes
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
Organising for someone else?
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
What the van needs
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- A clear way in for the van
- A lit spot for evening service
- Away from bedroom windows
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
What we serve
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Gravy
- Pie and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
