About our care home fish and chips in New Zealand
Smaller portions and plates with cutlery suit many residents, and we plan that with you. For care staff treats and care home summer fairs, we’ll put together a menu of haddock and chips, cod and chips and gravy.
Near New Zealand, residents may not get out much, so a van visit is a big occasion. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

FAQs for New Zealand
Do you come to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Which station is closest to New Zealand?
Aylesbury station, about 0.8 miles south of the centre.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can you do smaller portions for residents?
We will agree portion sizes with your kitchen or care team.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can families and staff eat too?
Of course. Add them to your numbers.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including New Zealand.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
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.
For planners, venues and organisers
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
