Care home fish and chips in Mowshurst, cooked to order
Smaller portions and plates with cutlery suit many residents, and we plan that with you. We’re often asked to cater care staff treats and visiting days, serving gravy, mushy peas and pie and chips.
Near Mowshurst, residents may not get out much, so a chip van visit is a special day. We cook inside the van, right where your residents are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- List residents’ diets, allergies and portion needs
- Plan how food reaches residents indoors
- Check the spot with your manager

The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there is pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
How it works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. In summer, Mowshurst has daylight until about 9:20pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
