About the food
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and it is a favourite with children.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is 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.
Why choose care home fish and chips in Norham Manor?
The kitchen gets a day off cooking for the main meal.
We can help if you are planning any of the following:
- Day centre treats
- Residents’ family gatherings

Norham Manor is on or near the A4144, so access for the van is simple.

Organising for someone else?
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Questions from Norham Manor
Is Norham Manor close to London?
Roughly 53 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Could you trade in Oxford University Parks?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for residents.
