About our care home fish and chips in Newchapel
We park close to the entrance or garden, clear of ambulance access. Whether it is sheltered housing get-togethers and a monthly fish and chip day, we can cook pie and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas and more.
Rural care homes near Newchapel can feel a long way from the seaside, so a chip van visit is a special day. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Newchapel
Do you come out to small places like Newchapel?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What’s the nearest station to Newchapel?
The closest is Dormans station, roughly 2 miles away.
Is grass a problem?
Typically, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for residents.
Can the van come to Newchapel?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Newchapel is within our area. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
What does the van need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.

How the day works
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace. Sunset in Newchapel is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September; winter visits, dark by about 3:55pm, suit lunchtime.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for residents.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Keep space clear for residents at the hatch
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
