Care homes, retirement housing and day centres all book visits. We serve pie and chips, gravy and mushy peas, and we are frequently booked for summer fêtes and open days and sheltered housing get-togethers.
Near Lower Twydall, residents may not get out much, so a van visit is a big occasion. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Lower Twydall?
Compared with a takeaway delivery, the van cooks on site, so it is not lukewarm by the time it is plated. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is frequently the best value.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.

Step by step
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. In summer, Lower Twydall has daylight until about 9:20pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In December, with dark by about 3:50pm, lunchtime is best.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for residents.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Give us a contact for the day
