Care home fish and chips for Ryeish Green events
How our care home fish and chips works in Ryeish Green
The van parks in the car park, on the drive or on a firm lawn, away from emergency routes. Whether it’s themed afternoons and care home summer fairs, we can cook gravy, mushy peas and pie and chips.
For a care home near Ryeish Green, tell us about lanes and the drive. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

How the day works
The first sign we have arrived is generally the smell. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. For a summer visit in Ryeish Green, residents can enjoy the garden in 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.

Common questions in Ryeish Green
Can the van park in Pearman's Copse?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first.
How far is Ryeish Green from London?
About 38 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac residents when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Where should the van go?
In the car park or on the drive, away from ambulance routes.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.

Takeaway run or book a van?
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 anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.

It gives staff a break from the kitchen for the main meal.
