Care home fish and chips in Loyterton, cooked to order
Some residents come out to the van; others watch from inside, and families can join in. Typical bookings include lunch for the care team and day centre treats, serving pie and chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
Rural care homes near Loyterton can feel a long way from the seaside, so a van visit is a big occasion. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before you book.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.

Questions from Loyterton
Could you trade in Doddington Place Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Loyterton close to London?
Roughly 41 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
Where will the van park?
In the car park or on the drive, away from ambulance routes.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your residents, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Space, access and the venue
We’ll be honest if a spot will not work, and help find another. What matters most:
- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
- Not blocking ambulance bays
- Away from bedroom windows
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
