Care home fish and chips for Warsash events
How our care home fish and chips works in Warsash
We visit care homes, retirement housing, sheltered schemes and day centres, for one-off events and regular visits. Whether it’s retirement village events and visiting days, we’ll put together a menu of pie and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
Around Warsash, homes frequently have a drive and garden. Tell us about access. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.
Is a fish and chip van right for your care home visit?
The home’s kitchen can make fish and chips, but a van turns it into an occasion. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is frequently the best value.
What you get with us
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones

Takeaway run or book a 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.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
- 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
