About our care home fish and chips in Streatley
The van parks in the car park, on the drive or on a firm lawn, away from emergency routes. We are often asked to cater residents’ birthdays and anniversaries and themed afternoons, serving sausage and chips, haddock and chips and gravy.
For a care home near Streatley, tell us about lanes and the drive so we can plan the route. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Step by step
There is very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your care home visit. We handle the cooking and serving. For a summer visit in Streatley, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:25pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.

The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and children love it.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a takeaway delivery, the van cooks on site, so food is hot when it reaches residents. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.

- Bookings across Oxfordshire, including Streatley

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
FAQs for Streatley
How far is Streatley from London?
About 45 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small places like Streatley?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
What about residents on soft diets?
Yes, with meals for texture-modified diets from the home’s own kitchen.
Can the van park on grass?
Usually, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can you do smaller portions for residents?
Tell us what you need and we will plan portion sizes with your team.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Residents will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Choose a spot away from ambulance routes
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Share residents’ diets and allergies with us
