Care home fish and chips in Nuneham Courtenay, fried fresh
Residents on soft or texture-modified diets need special care, which should come from the home’s own kitchen and care team. Popular choices include haddock and chips, gravy and sausage and chips, and we are often booked for residents’ family gatherings and seaside-themed afternoons.
Rural care homes near Nuneham Courtenay can feel a long way from the seaside, so a chip van visit is a special day. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

For event organisers in Nuneham Courtenay
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
