Care home fish and chips in Postcombe
How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Garden visits in Postcombe work best between late spring and early autumn, with sunset about 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September; in winter, keep it to lunchtime.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Preparing for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Get permission for the van from the venue

Care home fish and chips in Postcombe, cooked to order
Residents on soft or texture-modified diets need special care, which the home’s own team prepares or advises on, so everyone can share the occasion safely. We’re often asked to cater a monthly fish and chip day and day centres and lunch clubs, with sausage and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
Near Postcombe, residents may not get out much, so a chip van visit is a special day. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce

Haddock and chips
