Is a fish and chip van right for your care home visit?
Taking residents out is a big undertaking. The van comes to the home. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
What you get with us
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Fried fresh, not kept warm

Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Arrange texture-modified meals from your own kitchen
- Count families who are joining in
- Organise staff to carry food in
- Choose a spot away from ambulance routes
When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
A seaside theme with bunting adds to the fun.
