How our care home fish and chips works in Maidenhead
Your team knows your residents best, so we plan portion sizes, timings and diets with the home. Popular choices include cod and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater day centres and lunch clubs and a monthly fish and chip day.
In a town like Maidenhead, care homes, sheltered housing and day centres all book visits. We park in the car park or on the drive. 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.

Organising for someone else?
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Parking and the way in
- Whether a minimum applies
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
What we need to know
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- The address or venue name
- Allergies and diets you know about
- A photo of the space and the way in
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, use our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A level, firm spot such as the car park or drive
- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
- A route in without tight gates
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Maidenhead: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Maidenhead?
Maidenhead station, about 0.5 miles south-east of the centre.
How far is Maidenhead from London?
Roughly 27 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Can you do smaller portions for residents?
We’ll agree portion sizes with your kitchen or care team.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.

Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.

Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Arrange plates and trays for residents inside
- Pick a time that suits the home’s day
- Tell us about residents’ needs in writing
- Check the spot with your manager
Families can join in, with numbers agreed in advance.

How the day works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. In summer, Maidenhead has daylight until about 9:25pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
How to prepare
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Share the timings for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
