How our care home fish and chips works in Nyewood
Some residents need texture-modified food, which should come from the home’s own kitchen and care team. Popular choices include cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater summer fêtes and open days and family days.
Near Nyewood, residents may not get out much, so a van visit is a big occasion. Everything is fried fresh at your care home visit, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Nyewood
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is Nyewood too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Hampshire included. Find your area.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Can residents with special diets join in?
Yes: residents on soft diets can share the occasion with meals from your kitchen, following their care plans.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
