About our care home fish and chips in Walderton
Some residents need texture-modified food, which should come from the home’s own kitchen and care team, so everyone can share the occasion safely. We are often asked to cater lunch for the care team and summer fêtes and open days, serving sausage and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips.
At a rural home near Walderton, access matters so we can plan the route. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will be straight with you about what we can do.

Walderton: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Walderton?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Which station is closest to Walderton?
Nutbourne station, about 3.1 miles south of the centre.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Usually, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Where should the van go?
On a level spot in the car park or drive, clear of emergency access.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.

Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Diets, allergies and planning

- Involve the kitchen and care team early
- Fit the visit around routines
- Choose a spot away from ambulance routes
Residents in their rooms get food on a covered tray straight away.
Seaside photos give people something to talk about.
