Care home fish and chips for Souldern events
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
About our care home fish and chips in Souldern
Some residents come out to the van; others watch from inside, and families are welcome too. For seaside days and staff thank-you lunches at the home, we can cook cod and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips for your guests.
Rural care homes near Souldern can feel a long way from the seaside, so a chip van visit is a special day. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

- Choose a time around meals and medication
- Let us know if smaller portions suit
- Plan IDDSI-level meals with your own team
We set up before the mealtime, quietly.

How it works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. In summer, Souldern has daylight until about 9:30pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- We start with a few details about your care home visit.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for residents.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.

Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Souldern
How far is Souldern from London?
Roughly 59 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is Souldern too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for residents are worth planning.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.
Can you come every month?
Ask us about repeat dates when you enquire.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Organising for someone else?
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Organising a club, school or community event in Souldern? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
