About our care home fish and chips in Northney
Residents can watch from the window or come out to the hatch, and families are welcome too. Whether it’s care staff treats and family days, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips and more.
Near Northney, residents may not get out much, so a chip van visit is a special day. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a delivery order, a van serves hot food on site, so food is hot when it reaches residents. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.

- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side

Planning for dietary needs

Food for residents indoors goes straight in on plates.

What happens on the day
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. December visits in Northney are best at lunchtime, as it’s dark by about 4:00pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- 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
- Plan where the queue will stand
