How our care home fish and chips works in Stonesfield
Your team knows your residents best, so we work with the home on portions and diets. We serve haddock and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for seaside-themed afternoons and residents’ family gatherings.
Rural care homes near Stonesfield can feel a long way from the seaside, so a van visit is a big occasion. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Other occasions in Stonesfield
Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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 solves that by cooking on site.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.

Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Stonesfield
Is Stonesfield too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Stonesfield from London?
Roughly 62 miles from the centre of London.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Oxfordshire. See all areas.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Usually, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.

How it works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Residents normally gather round the hatch once service starts. For a summer visit in Stonesfield, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:30pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for residents.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
The home’s kitchen can make fish and chips, but a van turns it into an occasion. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
Why us?
- A clear quote before booking
- Quick service from the hatch
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
Take a look at our pricing and the cost guide.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
