Residents on soft or texture-modified diets need special care, which should come from the home’s own kitchen and care team, so everyone can share the occasion safely. On the menu are haddock and chips, gravy and mushy peas, and we’re frequently booked for visiting days and staff thank-you lunches at the home.

Do you come out to small places like Watersfield?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.

Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.

Planning help
For event organisers in Watersfield
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The day of the week
- Any minimum charge
- The menu and how many choices
- The number of meals
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
The more we know about your care home visit, the better we can plan. Please include:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The venue or postcode
- Dietary needs, with numbers
To get a price, fill in our quote form. Give us the details of your care home visit, and we’ll check the date and send a price.
A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and children love it.
Is a fish and chip van right for your care home visit?

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
What the van needs
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Not blocking ambulance bays
- Access the van can manage
- Lighting for later visits
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
