A chip van near Newick
How our care home fish and chips works in Newick
Fish and chips stirs happy memories for many older people. A van in the car park makes mealtime an occasion. We are frequently asked to cater seaside-themed afternoons and birthday treats for residents, serving haddock and chips, gravy and pie and chips.
Near Newick, residents may not get out much, so a van visit is a big occasion. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
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.

Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Agree the plan with your kitchen and care team
- Choose a time around meals and medication
- Organise staff to carry food in
- Ask about smaller portions
We set up before the mealtime.
Music from the 1950s and 60s sets the mood.
Organising for someone else?
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.

The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Space, access and the venue
Every site is different, so we will ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- A level parking spot near the entrance
- Access the van can manage
- Not right beside residents’ rooms
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Is a fish and chip van right for your care home visit?

How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. For a summer visit in Newick, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Make sure the van can get in
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
