The process
You don’t need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your care home visit. We handle the cooking and serving. In Newbury's, the garden season runs from late May, with light until about 8:50pm, to late September, around 7:00pm; in winter, keep it to lunchtime.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

- Ensure the van can get in

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
What affects the price in Newbury's
There is nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- Cod, haddock or both
- The number of meals
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The date and time of year
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.

About the food
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Allergies and dietary needs

- Choose a spot away from ambulance routes
- Plan IDDSI-level meals with your own team
- Pick a time that suits the home’s day
- Plan how food reaches residents indoors

Bunting, deckchairs and a seaside theme make it an occasion.
