Care home fish and chips in Lower Stoke, fried fresh
The care team knows each resident’s needs, so we plan portion sizes, timings and diets with the home. Whether it’s residents’ birthdays and anniversaries and a monthly fish and chip day, we will put together a menu of gravy, cod and chips and pie and chips.
For a care home near Lower Stoke, tell us about lanes and the drive so we can plan the route. We cook inside the van, right where your residents are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Lower Stoke
Is Lower Stoke 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.
Is Lower Stoke close to London?
About 32 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
Can the van come to Lower Stoke?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Lower Stoke and the rest of Medway. To check your date, use our quote form.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
What about residents on soft diets?
Your care team knows each resident’s needs. Share the diets and we’ll say what we can do; texture-modified meals should be prepared or advised on by your own team.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
