Care home fish and chips in Maybush, fried fresh
Many residents prefer smaller portions on a plate. For seaside-themed afternoons and lunch for the care team, we can cook gravy, mushy peas and cod and chips and more.
For a care home in a place like Maybush, a van visit brings a bit of the seaside to residents. We cook inside the van, right where your residents are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Maybush
Can you serve near the sea around Maybush?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Can the van go to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including Southampton. Find your area.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Residents will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Where will the van park?
In the car park or on the drive, away from ambulance routes.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
