Planning an event in Rotherfield Peppard?
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
Care home fish and chips in Rotherfield Peppard, cooked to order
Some residents come out to the van; others watch from inside, and families are welcome too. Typical bookings include open days for families and sheltered housing get-togethers, with cod and chips, sausage and chips and gravy.
At a rural home near Rotherfield Peppard, access matters so we can plan the route. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
The process
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. In summer, Rotherfield Peppard has daylight until about 9:25pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
