How our care home fish and chips works in Shottesbrooke
Some residents come out to the van; others watch from inside, and families can join in. We’re often asked to cater residents’ birthdays and anniversaries and care staff treats, serving mushy peas, pie and chips and sausage and chips.
Rural care homes near Shottesbrooke can feel a long way from the seaside, so a van visit is a big occasion. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Can you come every month?
Tell us how frequently you’d like a visit.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Is a fish and chip van right for your care home visit?
A themed afternoon with a van feels like a day out, without leaving the home. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.

Planning for dietary needs

We set up before the mealtime, quietly.
Music from the 1950s and 60s sets the mood.
