DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger residents and fish-dodgers.
Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen
- Share residents’ diets and allergies with us
- Agree the plan with your kitchen and care team
- Pick a time that suits the home’s day
Visitors are welcome if included in numbers.
A bit of music from residents’ younger days helps.
Who books care home fish and chips in Tiddington?

Big or small, the van works the same way. Common bookings include:
- Care staff treats
- A monthly fish and chip day
- Lunch clubs
- Sheltered housing get-togethers
Some homes in Tiddington have links with a local church such as Church of St Helen, and a van visit can be part of a summer fête.

FAQs for Tiddington
Is Tiddington too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is Tiddington from London?
About 45 miles from central London.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Is grass a problem?
Typically, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.

Organising for someone else?
