Care home fish and chips in Longmoor, cooked to order
For many residents, fish and chips brings back seaside trips and Friday nights. A van visit turns a meal into an event. We serve haddock and chips, mushy peas and gravy, and typical bookings are for retirement housing and sheltered schemes and day centres and lunch clubs.
Near Longmoor, residents may not get out much, so a chip van visit is a special day. 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’s handed over.

What else we do in Longmoor
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
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 generally simpler.
What affects the price in Longmoor
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- How long we serve
- The number of meals
- Distance and any road charges
- The date and time of year
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Expected numbers
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Your date and serving time
- Where you’d like the van to go
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and you’ll get a clear price. Just send us your details through our quote form.
How it works
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. Residents will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. In summer, Longmoor has daylight until about 9:20pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In December, with dark by about 4:00pm, lunchtime is best.
- First, tell us about your care home visit.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for residents.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Ensure the van can get in
- Tell us when you want to eat

What the van needs
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Not right beside residents’ rooms
- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
- Firm, level ground close to the home
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we serve
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
- Gravy
Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- List residents’ diets, allergies and portion needs
- Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen
- Keep the van clear of emergency access
- Count families who are joining in
We set up before the mealtime, quietly.
A regular date gives everyone something to look forward to.
