Care home fish and chips for your care home visit in Setley
Fish and chips stirs happy memories for many older people. A van in the car park makes mealtime an occasion. Typical bookings include fish and chip Fridays and lunch clubs, serving haddock and chips, pie and chips and cod and chips.
At a rural home near Setley, access matters so we can plan the route. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
How we price a fish and chip van visit
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The date and time of year
- The menu and how many choices
- The minimum booking
- Access and parking
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your care home visit.

What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
