Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few residents with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Arrange texture-modified meals from your own kitchen
- Keep the van clear of emergency access
- Agree the plan with your kitchen and care team
- Tell us about residents’ needs in writing
We serve at the time the home chooses, around meals and medication.
A regular date gives everyone something to look forward to.
Care home fish and chips in Molesey, cooked to order
Your team knows your residents best, so we plan portion sizes, timings and diets with the home. On the menu are gravy, mushy peas and haddock and chips, and we are frequently booked for seaside-themed afternoons and day centre treats.
In Molesey, care homes, a chip van visit is a real treat. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Away from emergency access
- Lighting for later visits
- A spot residents can enjoy, inside or out
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Molesey
Can the van park in Cigarette Island Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Molesey?
Hampton Court station, about 0.7 miles north-east of the centre.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Do you do residents’ portions?
Portion sizes are agreed in advance.
Where will the van park?
In the car park or on the drive, away from ambulance routes.
Are visitors included?
Yes, and families love joining in.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Molesey?
Entertainers and activities are great; a van visit combines a meal with an activity. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why us?
- Bookings across Surrey, including Molesey

A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.
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 normally the easier option.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.

The process
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. December visits in Molesey are best at lunchtime, as it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Ensure the van can get in
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
