What affects the price in Stratfield Saye

- How easy the site is to reach
- Service time
- Cod, haddock or both
- Distance and any road charges
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your care home visit is.
What we need to know
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- The venue or postcode
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Roughly how many people, including children
Send us the date, the address or RG7 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and we will reply with a quote. Just fill in our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Fit the visit around routines
- Agree numbers for residents, staff and families
- Choose a spot away from ambulance routes
- Organise staff to carry food in
Staff carry plates to residents who can’t come outside.
A bit of music from residents’ younger days helps.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
