Fresh fish and chips in Little Frieth

Looking after everyone

We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:

  • Plan it with your catering manager
  • Count families who are joining in
  • Organise staff to carry food in
  • Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen

When everyone has eaten, we pack up.

A regular date gives everyone something to look forward to.

Care home fish and chips in Little Frieth, fried fresh

Smaller portions and plates with cutlery suit many residents, and we plan that with you. Typical bookings include sheltered housing get-togethers and residents’ birthdays and anniversaries, serving cod and chips, gravy and haddock and chips.

At a rural home near Little Frieth, access matters. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Working with your venue

If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

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 will work through them with you.

Planning the van’s spot

The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:

  • Not blocking ambulance bays
  • Away from bedroom windows
  • Light near the van after dark

Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Little Frieth: your questions answered

Can the van go to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?

Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.

What’s the nearest station to Little Frieth?

The closest is Marlow station, roughly 4.7 miles away.

Is the fish gluten-free?

Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac residents in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.

Can everyone take part?

The home knows each resident best. Share the diets and we will say what we can do; texture-modified meals should be prepared or advised on by your own team.

Do you cover Little Frieth?

Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Little Frieth is within our area and the rest of Oxfordshire. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.

How long will the queue be?

A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.

How do you handle allergies?

Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.

Do we need to provide anything?

Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.

Food your guests will love

Haddock and chips

Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.

Gravy

In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.

How the day works

The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your residents, which we agree with you beforehand. In Little Frieth, late spring and early autumn evenings stay light until about 8:55pm and 7:05pm; for winter visits, choose lunchtime.

  1. First, tell us about your care home visit.
  2. We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
  3. Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
  4. On the day, we park up and fry fresh for residents.
  5. Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.

How to prepare

  • Give us your final numbers and allergies
  • Confirm the van is allowed on site
  • Tell us when you want to eat

How to get a price

We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.

Takeaway run or book a van?

DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.

  • Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
  • Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
  • The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
  • Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
