Care home fish and chips for your care home visit in The Chart
We park close to the entrance or garden, away from emergency routes. We serve cod and chips, sausage and chips and gravy, and typical bookings are for retirement village events and residents’ birthdays and anniversaries.
For a care home near The Chart, tell us about lanes and the drive. We cook inside the van, right where your residents are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
What affects the price in The Chart
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- The minimum booking
- How easy the site is to reach
- How long we serve
- Your choice of menu
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

- Allergies and diets you know about
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The date and when you’d like to eat

A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
- 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
