Fresh fish and chips in Litlington
How our care home fish and chips works in Litlington
The van parks in the car park, on the drive or on a firm lawn, clear of ambulance access. Popular choices include cod and chips, gravy and sausage and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater residents’ family gatherings and lunch clubs.
At a rural home near Litlington, access matters. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your care home visit, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

For planners, venues and organisers
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Space, access and the venue
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Away from emergency access
- A clear way in for the van
- 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.
