Care home fish and chips for your care home visit in Warren Row
Fish and chips stirs happy memories for many older people. A van visit turns a meal into an event. Popular choices include mushy peas, pie and chips and gravy, and we are regularly asked to cater care home summer fairs and friday fish and chip treats.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Choose a time around meals and medication
- Choose a spot away from ambulance routes
- Plan it with your catering manager
- Arrange texture-modified meals from your own kitchen
We set up before the mealtime.

Common questions in Warren Row
Which station is closest to Warren Row?
The closest is Shiplake station, roughly 2.6 miles away.
How far is Warren Row from London?
About 31 miles from central London.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for residents.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Do you come to Warren Row?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Warren Row. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
