About our care home fish and chips in Puttenham
Fish and chips stirs happy memories for many older people. A van in the car park makes mealtime an occasion. Popular choices include sausage and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and we’re often booked for care staff treats and family days.
Near Puttenham, residents may not get out much, so a van visit is a big occasion. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do before booking.

Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Puttenham
Could you trade in Pucks Oak Barn and McAlmont Reserves?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Is Puttenham close to London?
About 32 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac residents when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for residents.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your care home visit and we will send a quote.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Space, access and the venue
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Lighting for later visits
- Access the van can manage
- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
