Care home fish and chips in Norney, fried fresh
We park close to the entrance or garden, clear of ambulance access. For care home summer fairs and residents’ birthdays and anniversaries, we can cook pie and chips, sausage and chips and gravy for your guests.
Near Norney, residents may not get out much, so a van visit is a big occasion. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
A chip van compared with other options
Taking residents out is a big undertaking. A van brings the treat to them. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

FAQs for Norney
Can the van park in Middlebriars Wood?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Norney close to London?
About 32 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Can residents with special diets join in?
Yes: residents on soft diets can share the occasion with meals from your kitchen.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
How much does a fish and chip van visit cost in Norney?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.

Other occasions in Norney
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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 cooks in front of your residents instead.
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.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
