How our care home fish and chips works in Tubney
We visit care homes, retirement housing, sheltered schemes and day centres. We’re often asked to cater care home summer fairs and friday fish and chip treats, with sausage and chips, gravy and mushy peas.
At a rural home near Tubney, access matters. Everything is fried fresh at your care home visit, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

We serve all 443 towns and villages across Oxfordshire, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Tubney to Oxford (7 miles away).
Some homes in Tubney have links with a local church such as Church of St Lawrence, and a van visit can be part of a summer fête.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Tubney?
Taking residents out is a big undertaking. A van brings the treat to them. Larger groups usually cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Common questions in Tubney
How far is Tubney from London?
About 56 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Tubney?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can residents with special diets join in?
Your care team knows each resident’s needs. Share the diets and we will say what we can do; soft and texture-modified meals should come from your kitchen.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is usually simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your care home visit and we will send a quote.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Plan how food reaches residents indoors
- Agree the plan with your kitchen and care team
- Plan IDDSI-level meals with your own team
- Choose a time around meals and medication
When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
