About our care home fish and chips in Upper Street
Many residents prefer smaller portions on a plate. Popular choices include cod and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for friday fish and chip treats and themed afternoons.
Rural care homes near Upper Street can feel a long way from the seaside, so a van visit is a big occasion. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
For event organisers in Upper Street
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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.

About the food

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Plan it with your catering manager
- Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen
- Share residents’ diets and allergies with us
- Agree numbers for residents, staff and families
We set up before the mealtime, quietly.
Bunting, deckchairs and a seaside theme make it an occasion.
Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Clear of ambulance access and emergency routes
- With the serving side away from windows
