About our care home fish and chips in Toothill
The care team knows each resident’s needs, so we work with the home on portions and diets. Typical bookings include care home summer fairs and residents’ celebrations, with mushy peas, haddock and chips and pie and chips.
For a care home near Toothill, tell us about lanes and the drive so we can plan the route. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your care home visit, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Toothill?
The home’s kitchen can make fish and chips, but a van makes it an event. 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. We set everything out in your quote.

Questions from Toothill
Can the van go to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Toothill?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for residents are worth planning.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
Is grass a problem?
Usually, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information.
Can the van come to Toothill?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Toothill and the rest of Hampshire. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
- 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
