Care home fish and chips in Stockland Green, cooked to order
Your team knows your residents best, so we work with the home on portions and diets. Typical bookings include seaside days and residents’ birthdays and anniversaries, serving gravy, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
Near Stockland Green, residents may not get out much, so a chip van visit is a special day. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A themed afternoon with a van feels like a day out. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.

Stockland Green: your questions answered
Can the van park in Barnett's Wood?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How far is Stockland Green from London?
Roughly 28 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you come every month?

A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your residents, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.

Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
