About our care home fish and chips in Stratton Audley
Many residents prefer smaller portions on a plate. On the menu are gravy, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for residents’ celebrations and lunch for the care team.

The process
The first sign we’ve arrived is usually the smell, about the time the first residents wander across. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. Sunset in Stratton Audley is around 9:00pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September; winter visits, dark by about 3:55pm, suit lunchtime.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a takeaway delivery, a van serves hot food on site, so food is hot when it reaches residents. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.

Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
