Care home fish and chips in Pusey, fried fresh
For many residents, fish and chips brings back seaside trips and Friday nights. A van in the car park makes mealtime an occasion. For residents’ family gatherings and fish and chip Fridays, we can cook mushy peas, gravy and cod and chips.
Near Pusey, 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.

A fish and chip van or other catering?

The process
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. Sunset in Pusey is around 9:00pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September; for winter visits, choose lunchtime.
- It starts with your date, numbers and mealtime.
- We check where the van can park and send a quote.
- We agree portion sizes and any diets with your kitchen or care team.
- On the day we set up and fry fresh, serving at the agreed time.
- We pack up quietly and leave the space tidy.
Getting ready for the day

Other occasions in Pusey
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
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.

Is Pusey too small for a chip van?
