Care home fish and chips in Moreton, fried fresh
Some residents need texture-modified food, which the home’s own team prepares or advises on. Typical bookings include lunch clubs and care staff treats, serving cod and chips, haddock and chips and gravy.
At a rural home near Moreton, access matters so we can plan the route. We cook inside the van, right where your residents are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, about 3.2 miles north-east of the centre.
Is Moreton too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Can families and staff eat too?
Yes. Add them to your numbers.
A chip van compared with other options
Taking residents out is a big undertaking. A van brings the treat to them. Larger groups typically cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. For a summer visit in Moreton, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:25pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.

- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.

Can’t 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.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
