About our care home fish and chips in Nettlebed
Residents can watch from the window or come out to the hatch, and families can join in. We serve pie and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for care staff treats and residents’ celebrations.
Near Nettlebed, residents may not get out much, so a van visit is a big occasion. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

A closer look at the menu
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. 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. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
