How our care home fish and chips works in Long Crendon
Residents on soft or texture-modified diets need special care, which should come from the home’s own kitchen and care team, so everyone can share the occasion safely. Whether it’s residents’ celebrations and residents’ family gatherings, we can cook pie and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas and more.
Care homes around Long Crendon are frequently in converted houses with a drive. Tell us about access. Everything is fried fresh at your care home visit, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

What comes out of the fryer

Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.

Common questions in Long Crendon
Which station is closest to Long Crendon?
Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, about 2.3 miles east of the centre.
Is Long Crendon close to London?
Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Can you come every month?
Yes, ask us about regular dates.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you are not sure.

Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
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.
