Care home fish and chips in Seething Wells, fried fresh
The care team knows each resident’s needs, so we plan portion sizes, timings and diets with the home. We’re frequently asked to cater summer fêtes and open days and care staff treats, with sausage and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
In Seething Wells, care homes normally have limited parking, so we agree a spot clear of ambulance access. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Working with your venue
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Plan IDDSI-level meals with your own team
- Organise staff to carry food in
- Choose a spot away from ambulance routes
We arrive in good time to park and heat the fryers, quietly.
A seaside theme with bunting adds to the fun.
Seething Wells: your questions answered
Is parking a problem for the van in Seething Wells?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
Which station is closest to Seething Wells?
Surbiton station, in Seething Wells itself.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can you come every month?
Tell us how frequently you’d like a visit.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your residents, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.

Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
How it works
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. For a summer visit in Seething Wells, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden visits easy. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
