A chip van near Redenham
Care home fish and chips in Redenham, fried fresh
The care team knows each resident’s needs, so we plan portion sizes, timings and diets with the home. On the menu are sausage and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater care home summer fairs and care staff treats.
Near Redenham, residents may not get out much, so a van visit is a big occasion. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A level parking spot near the entrance
- A clear way in for the van
- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Redenham
Is Redenham close to London?
Roughly 66 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Redenham?
The closest is Andover station, roughly 4 miles away.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your care home visit and we’ll send a quote.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
Can portions be smaller?
We will agree portion sizes with your kitchen or care team.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Numbers
- Parking and the way in
- The day of the week
- Your choice of menu
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
