A chip van near Sevenscore
Care home fish and chips for your care home visit in Sevenscore
A regular visit gives everyone something to look forward to. Typical bookings include a monthly fish and chip day and retirement housing and sheltered schemes, with gravy, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
Rural care homes near Sevenscore can feel a long way from the seaside, so a chip van visit is a special day. You’ll know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.
Space, access and the venue
If a spot is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and help find another. What matters most:
- A spot residents can enjoy, inside or out
- Away from bedroom windows
- Away from emergency access
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Planners, venues and businesses
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.

Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Arrange texture-modified meals from your own kitchen
- Check the spot with your manager
- List residents’ diets, allergies and portion needs
- Let us know if smaller portions suit
Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Make it a regular event.
The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it’s hot, crisp and generous.

Where should the van go?

What food do you serve?

What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is normally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for residents.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
