Care home fish and chips in Odiham
What a fish and chip van costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Distance and any road charges
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Whether a minimum applies
- Cod, haddock or both
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

Care home fish and chips in Odiham, fried fresh
Residents can watch from the window or come out to the hatch, and families are welcome too. We’re often asked to cater staff thank-you lunches at the home and care home summer fairs, with sausage and chips, haddock and chips and gravy.
In Odiham, care homes, a van visit brings a bit of the seaside to residents. We cook inside the van, right where your residents are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:

When everyone has eaten, we pack up.

Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it’s lovely with a pie.

Before you choose a spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- Clear of ambulance access and emergency routes
- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
- A level parking spot near the entrance
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
