Care home fish and chips in Little Hoddington, fried fresh
Your team knows your residents best, so we work with the home on portions and diets. We serve gravy, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and we’re frequently booked for retirement housing and sheltered schemes and fish and chip Fridays.
For a care home near Little Hoddington, tell us about lanes and the drive. 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.

Common questions in Little Hoddington
Which station is closest to Little Hoddington?
Hook station, about 3.7 miles north-east of the centre.
Is Little Hoddington close to London?
Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
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.
What can residents choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Where should the van go?
On a level spot in the car park or drive, clear of emergency access.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Where the van can park in Little Hoddington
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Light near the van after dark
- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
- A level, firm spot such as the car park or drive
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. 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
