Care home fish and chips in Shripney, cooked to order
Residents on soft or texture-modified diets need special care, which should come from the home’s own kitchen and care team. We serve cod and chips, gravy and pie and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater seaside-themed afternoons and family days.
Near Shripney, residents may not get out much, so a van visit is a big occasion. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
How it works
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can get on with your care home visit. December visits in Shripney are best at lunchtime, as it is dark by about 4:00pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
How to prepare
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Have a level parking spot ready

Questions from Shripney
Can the van park in The Brooks Local Nature Reserve?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first.
What about events near the coast?
Yes. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do you come to Shripney?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Shripney. For a quote, use our quote form.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for residents.
Can portions be smaller?
We will agree portion sizes with your kitchen or care team.
How much does a fish and chip van visit cost in Shripney?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
For event organisers in Shripney
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
What comes out of the fryer
