About our care home fish and chips in Stockbridge
Many residents prefer smaller portions on a plate, and we plan that with you. We serve cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for family days and seaside-themed afternoons.
For a care home near Stockbridge, tell us about lanes and the drive. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your care home visit, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
What a fish and chip van costs
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Parking and the way in
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The number of meals
- Travel, tolls and road charges
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The venue or postcode
- The date and time of the event
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you are ready, fill in our quote form.
Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
