Care home fish and chips in Nutcombe, cooked to order
A regular visit gives everyone something to look forward to in the calendar. On the menu are sausage and chips, pie and chips and cod and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater family days and care home summer fairs.
For a care home near Nutcombe, tell us about lanes and the drive. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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.

Can the van come to Nutcombe?
We do. Nutcombe is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.

The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.

Wherever suits the home, as long as it is level and safe.

We take the van across London and the South East, Surrey included. See all areas.
What affects the price in Nutcombe
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- The date and time of year
- Distance and any road charges
- Whether a minimum applies
- Access and parking
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.

- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Roughly how many people, including children
- A picture of the space and the way in
