Care home fish and chips in Salehurst, cooked to order
Residents on soft or texture-modified diets need special care, which the home’s own team prepares or advises on, so everyone can share the occasion safely. Typical bookings include retirement village events and lunch for the care team, with haddock and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
At a rural home near Salehurst, access matters. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

How we price a fish and chip van visit
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- The length of service
- The minimum booking
- The date and time of year
- How easy the site is to reach
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your care home visit is.
Getting an accurate quote

- The date and time of the event

- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will quote on that. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:

Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
