About our care home fish and chips in Mottisfont
The van parks in the car park, on the drive or on a firm lawn, away from emergency routes. Typical bookings include friday fish and chip treats and lunch for the care team, with pie and chips, sausage and chips and gravy.
Rural care homes near Mottisfont can feel a long way from the seaside, so a van visit is a big occasion. Everything is fried fresh at your care home visit, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.
What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Light near the van after dark
- A route in without tight gates
- Away from bedroom windows
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
What we serve
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips
- Gravy
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
Is a fish and chip van right for your care home visit?
Compared with a takeaway delivery, the van cooks on site, so food is hot when it reaches residents. 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.
