Care home fish and chips for your care home visit in Radclive
Some residents come out to the van; others watch from inside, and families are welcome too. For residents’ birthdays and anniversaries and seaside-themed afternoons, we will put together a menu of haddock and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
At a rural home near Radclive, access matters so we can plan the route. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

For planners, venues and organisers
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it is on the menu.
Space, access and the venue
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Away from emergency access
- Away from bedroom windows
- A lit spot for evening service
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
