Care home fish and chips in New Romney, fried fresh
The van parks in the car park, on the drive or on a firm lawn, clear of ambulance access. For care staff treats and visiting days, we can cook sausage and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips for your guests.
Around New Romney, homes frequently have a drive and garden. Tell us about access. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
The process
There is very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your care home visit. We handle the cooking and serving. In summer, New Romney has daylight until about 9:15pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In winter, dark by about 3:50pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- We start with the date, numbers and a serving time that suits the home.
- We check where the van can park and send a quote.
- We plan portions and dietary needs with the home.
- We park up and cook to order at mealtime.
- We clear up and leave the car park as we found it.
How to prepare
- Let us know the serving time
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

New Romney: your questions answered
How far is New Romney from London?
About 57 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can the van park in Romney Warren Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac residents when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.

Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What do we need to supply?

Can portions be smaller?
Tell us what you need and we’ll plan portion sizes with your team.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
