About our care home fish and chips in Lower Eashing
Monthly or seasonal visits become a highlight. Typical bookings include visiting days and retirement village events, with pie and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
Rural care homes near Lower Eashing can feel a long way from the seaside, so a van visit is a big occasion. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Lower Eashing: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Lower Eashing?
The closest is Godalming station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
Is Lower Eashing too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What can residents choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac residents and we’ll explain the options.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Can the van park on grass?
Typically, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can everyone take part?
Yes, with meals for texture-modified diets from the home’s own kitchen, following their care plans.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a delivery order, a van serves hot food on site, so food is hot when it reaches residents. Larger groups generally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why us?
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- All the chip-shop extras
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking

Planning help
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
