Care home fish and chips in Newbury Park, cooked to order
Some residents need texture-modified food, which should come from the home’s own kitchen and care team. We are frequently asked to cater residents’ celebrations and family days, with gravy, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
Care homes in Newbury Park frequently have a small car park or drive, so we agree a spot clear of ambulance access. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Newbury Park: your questions answered
Could you trade in Valentines Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Is parking a problem for the van in Newbury Park?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for residents are worth planning.
Can you park at the home?
Wherever suits the home, as long as it’s level and safe.
Do you cover Newbury Park?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Newbury Park. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
What can residents choose from?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Looking after everyone
Most events have a few residents with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Choose a spot away from ambulance routes
- Agree numbers for residents, staff and families
- Arrange plates and trays for residents inside
- Plan IDDSI-level meals with your own team
Service fits around the home’s routines.
A bit of music from residents’ younger days helps.
Organising for someone else?
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.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.

Step by step
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. In summer, Newbury Park has daylight until about 9:20pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In winter, dark by about 3:50pm, a lunchtime visit is better.

- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
