How our care home fish and chips works in Lyde Green
The van parks in the car park, on the drive or on a firm lawn, away from emergency routes. Whether it’s friday fish and chip treats and care staff treats, we’ll put together a menu of sausage and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips and more.
Near Lyde Green, residents may not get out much, so a chip van visit is a special day. We cook inside the van, right where your residents are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Do you come out to small places like Lyde Green?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.

That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
Can the van come to Lyde Green?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Lyde Green and across Hampshire. Send us your date to check availability.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
What the van needs
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Not right beside residents’ rooms
- Firm, level ground close to the home
- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
