Care home fish and chips in Oxshott, fried fresh
Monthly or seasonal visits become a highlight in the calendar. We serve mushy peas, pie and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re often booked for day centre treats and open days for families.
In Oxshott, care homes, a van visit brings a bit of the seaside to residents. 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.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
The process
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we will adjust start times and pace to suit your care home visit. December visits in Oxshott are best at lunchtime, as it’s dark by about 3:55pm, while summer visits can run into the evening, with light until about 9:20pm.
- The home tells us the date, numbers for residents, staff and visitors, and the best time to serve.
- We check where the van can park and send a quote.
- We plan portions and dietary needs with the home.
- On the day we set up and fry fresh, serving at the agreed time.
- Afterwards, we pack up quietly.
Before we arrive
- Clear the route for the van
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Name one person we can call on the day

DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
