Planning an event in Nately Scures?
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
How our care home fish and chips works in Nately Scures
The van parks in the car park, on the drive or on a firm lawn, away from emergency routes. We are frequently asked to cater a monthly fish and chip day and sheltered housing get-togethers, serving gravy, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
For a care home near Nately Scures, tell us about lanes and the drive. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Nately Scures?

How it works
Changes on the day are fine: we can start a little later or slow the pace. In summer, Nately Scures has daylight until about 9:25pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In winter, dark by about 4:00pm, a lunchtime visit is better.

The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A lit spot for evening service
- Away from bedroom windows
- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
