Care home fish and chips for your care home visit in Lyminster
Some residents need texture-modified food, which the home’s own team prepares or advises on, so everyone can share the occasion safely. For birthday treats for residents and day centre treats, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips for your guests.
Near Lyminster, residents may not get out much, so a van visit is a big occasion. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How far we travel
- The number of meals
- How easy the site is to reach
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your care home visit.

The more we know about your care home visit, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Expected numbers
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Your date and serving time
- The address or venue name
To get a price, use our quote form. Give us the details of your care home visit, and we’ll check the date and send a price.
Looking after everyone
Most events have a few residents with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Arrange texture-modified meals from your own kitchen
- Involve the kitchen and care team early
- Agree numbers for residents, staff and families
- Plan how food reaches residents indoors
We set up before the mealtime.
A seaside theme with bunting adds to the fun.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.

Planning the van’s spot
Every site is different, so we’ll ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- With the serving side away from windows
- A level parking spot near the entrance
- Access the van can manage
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

How it works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. In summer, Lyminster has daylight until about 9:20pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In winter, dark by about 4:00pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
