How our care home fish and chips works in Stalisfield Green
We park close to the entrance or garden, clear of ambulance access. Whether it is retirement village events and summer fêtes and open days, we’ll put together a menu of gravy, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
For a care home near Stalisfield Green, tell us about lanes and the drive. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
How it works
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. For a summer visit in Stalisfield Green, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:15pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In winter, dark by about 3:50pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Tell us when you want to eat

Questions from Stalisfield Green
How far is Stalisfield Green from London?
About 43 miles from central London.
Can the van park in Spuckles and Kennelling Woods?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can everyone take part?
The home knows each resident best. Tell us about any diets and we will explain what we can offer; texture-modified meals should be prepared or advised on by your own team.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your residents, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.

Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.

A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Share residents’ diets and allergies with us
- Check the spot with your manager
- Fit the visit around routines
- Agree numbers for residents, staff and families
We arrive in good time to park and heat the fryers, quietly.
