Care home fish and chips for Salters Heath events
Care home fish and chips in Salters Heath, cooked to order
Residents can watch from the window or come out to the hatch, and families can join in. Popular choices include cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater summer fêtes and open days and retirement village events.
Near Salters Heath, residents may not get out much, so a van visit is a big occasion. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
How it works
Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch when you are ready to eat. With darkness by about 4:00pm in December, winter van visits in Salters Heath suit lunchtime, while summer visits can run into the evening, with light until about 9:25pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Make sure the van can get in

Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.

The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- Lighting for later visits
- Not right beside residents’ rooms
- A spot residents can enjoy, inside or out
