Fresh fish and chips in Stonymarsh
How our care home fish and chips works in Stonymarsh
Many residents prefer smaller portions on a plate, and we plan that with you. Popular choices include cod and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater retirement housing and sheltered schemes and family days.
Near Stonymarsh, residents may not get out much, so a chip van visit is a special day. We cook inside the van, right where your residents are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
The process
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. With darkness by about 4:00pm in December, winter van visits in Stonymarsh suit lunchtime.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for residents.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Clear the route for the van
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Planning help
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
The home’s kitchen can make fish and chips, but a van makes it an event. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your care home visit.
