It gives the kitchen and care staff a change. We’re often asked to cater seaside-themed afternoons and family days, serving gravy, mushy peas and sausage and chips.

North Warnborough: your questions answered
Which station is closest to North Warnborough?
Hook station, about 1.5 miles north of the centre.
Is North Warnborough too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
Can residents with special diets join in?
Your care team knows each resident’s needs. Tell us about any diets and we’ll explain what we can offer; soft and texture-modified meals should come from your kitchen.
Can you come every month?
Ask us about repeat dates when you enquire.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t 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.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
Space, access and the venue
If a spot is not suitable, we’ll tell you. The main points are:
- A level, firm spot such as the car park or drive
- A spot residents can enjoy, inside or out
- Not blocking ambulance bays
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
