Can you do smaller portions for residents?

Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac residents in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Taking residents out is a big undertaking. The van comes to the home. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Why Westcot hosts choose us
- No kitchen needed
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- A clear quote before you book
- Everything cooked to order at your event
See our prices page or the cost guide.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
