Care home fish and chips for your care home visit in Nuptown

For many residents, fish and chips brings back seaside trips and Friday nights. A van in the car park makes mealtime an occasion. For fish and chip Fridays and day centres and lunch clubs, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, pie and chips and gravy and more.

Near Nuptown, residents may not get out much, so a chip van visit is a special day. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Area: Nuptown (RG42)
Region: Bracknell Forest
Menu: Fish and chips, sausages, pies
On the side: Mushy peas, curry sauce, gravy
Price: Quoted for your event

The menu, dish by dish

Mushy peas

No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.

Haddock and chips

Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.

Space, access and the venue

Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:

Close to the garden or entrance
Firm, level ground close to the home
A lit spot for evening service

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

The process

You’ll know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first residents wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. For a summer visit in Nuptown, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:25pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.

Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for residents.
Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

Before we arrive

Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
Get permission for the van from the venue

DIY versus a fish and chip van

Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.

Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.

Is a fish and chip van right for your care home visit?

Activities are important; a van visit is both. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
