Care home fish and chips in Stoke Row, fried fresh
The van parks in the car park, on the drive or on a firm lawn, away from emergency routes. We serve cod and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater family days and retirement village events.
For a care home near Stoke Row, tell us about lanes and the drive so we can plan the route. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Stoke Row questions
Can the van go to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Stoke Row close to London?
Roughly 40 miles from the centre of London.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Oxfordshire. Find your area.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children usually love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can you do smaller portions for residents?
Tell us what you need and we will plan portion sizes with your team.
Is a fish and chip van right for your care home visit?
A seaside afternoon with a chip van feels special. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.

Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
