How our care home fish and chips works in Loxwood
For many residents, fish and chips brings back seaside trips and Friday nights. A van in the car park makes mealtime an occasion. On the menu are sausage and chips, gravy and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for a monthly fish and chip day and residents’ celebrations.
Rural care homes near Loxwood can feel a long way from the seaside, so a van visit is a big occasion. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
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.

- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
