About our care home fish and chips in Wentworth
Fish and chips stirs happy memories for many older people. A van visit turns a meal into an event. Whether it’s a monthly fish and chip day and open days for families, we will put together a menu of haddock and chips, gravy and pie and chips.
At a rural home near Wentworth, access matters. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Care home visits in Wentworth
Wentworth is about 3 miles south-west of Egham, in Surrey. Wherever your care home visit is in the GU25 area, we can bring the van to you. We take the van to 395 places in Surrey. Our bookings stretch from Wentworth to Guildford (11 miles away).
Some homes in Wentworth have links with a local church such as Christ Church, and a van visit can be part of a summer fête. For families visiting by train, the nearest station is Longcross station, about 1 mile south.
Wherever your care home visit is in GU25, we can fry fresh for your residents, from busy streets to quiet lanes.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Wentworth?
The home’s kitchen can make fish and chips, but a van turns it into an occasion. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
What you get with us
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Something for residents to gather round

What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Whether a minimum applies
- The date and time of year
- Service time
- Parking and the way in
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
Details that help
To speed things up, tell us:
- The venue or postcode
- Roughly how many people, including children
- A picture of the parking spot
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can fill in our quote form.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Perfect for your care home visit in Wentworth
The home only needs to provide a parking spot and a plan for residents’ diets.
The van suits big events and small ones. Typical bookings include:
- Summer fêtes and open days
- Residents’ birthdays and anniversaries
- Seaside-themed afternoons
- A monthly fish and chip day
Residents who remember days out at Virginia Water Lake may enjoy talking about it over fish and chips.

Working with your venue
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
How the day works
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, timed around your care home visit. Garden visits in Wentworth work best between late spring and early autumn, with sunset about 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September; in winter, keep it to lunchtime.

- We check where the van can park and send a quote.
- Portions and diets are planned with your care team.
- We park up and cook to order at mealtime.
- We clear up and leave the car park as we found it.
