Care home fish and chips for your care home visit in Oakshott
Some residents come out to the van; others watch from inside, and families can join in. On the menu are haddock and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips, and we’re frequently booked for day centres and lunch clubs and visiting days.
At a rural home near Oakshott, access matters. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your care home visit, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Sunset in Oakshott is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September; winter visits, dark by about 4:00pm, suit lunchtime.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Let us know the serving time
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

- Whether a minimum applies
- How easy the site is to reach
- Travel, tolls and road charges
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.

Oakshott questions
How far is Oakshott from London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Oakshott?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can portions be smaller?
Tell us what you need and we will plan portion sizes with your team.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
