Details that help
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Your date and serving time

- Any dietary needs and allergies
Each quote is put together for your care home visit. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and it’s a favourite with children.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Agree numbers for residents, staff and families
- Plan IDDSI-level meals with your own team
- Ask about smaller portions
- Plan how food reaches residents indoors
Food for residents indoors goes straight in on plates.
A seaside theme with bunting adds to the fun.

Planning the van’s spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Not right beside residents’ rooms
- Firm, level ground close to the home
- A spot residents can enjoy, inside or out
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
Popular choices

- Pie and chips
Is a fish and chip van right for your care home visit?
Next to a delivery order, a van serves hot food on site, so it isn’t lukewarm by the time it is plated. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.

Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
