Care home fish and chips in New Milton, cooked to order
Monthly or seasonal visits become a highlight in the calendar. On the menu are haddock and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas, and we’re regularly asked to cater care home summer fairs and themed afternoons.
In New Milton, care homes, a van visit brings a bit of the seaside to residents. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.
How we price a fish and chip van visit
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The menu and how many choices
- How easy the site is to reach
- The date and time of year
- The length of service
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- A picture of where the van would go
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Expected numbers
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. To send your details, fill in our quote form.

Common questions in New Milton
What about events near the coast?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
What’s the nearest station to New Milton?
New Milton station, in New Milton itself.
Can you come every month?
Yes, ask us about regular dates.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Can everyone take part?
The home knows each resident best. Tell us about any diets and we will explain what we can offer; soft and texture-modified meals should come from your kitchen.
Where will the van park?
In the car park or on the drive, away from ambulance routes.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Let us know if smaller portions suit
- Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen
- Organise staff to carry food in
- Choose a time around meals and medication
We arrive in good time to park and heat the fryers.
A regular date gives everyone something to look forward to.
