What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce and it’s on the menu.
How our care home fish and chips works in Ledborough
Residents can watch from the window or come out to the hatch, and families can join in. Typical bookings include seaside days and residents’ celebrations, serving pie and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
At a rural home near Ledborough, access matters so we can plan the route. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

Garden visits in Ledborough work best between late spring and early autumn, with sunset about 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September; in winter, keep it to lunchtime.

Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few residents with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Arrange plates and trays for residents inside
- Keep the van clear of emergency access
- Involve the kitchen and care team early
- Plan IDDSI-level meals with your own team
Residents in their rooms get food on a covered tray right away.
A bit of music from residents’ younger days helps.
Organising for someone else?
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
How we price a fish and chip van visit
These are the factors that matter most:
- How long we serve
- Access and parking
- How far we travel
- Any minimum charge
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The venue or postcode
- A picture of the space and the way in
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, use our quote form.
