Care home fish and chips in Westcott Barton, fried fresh

Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Agree numbers for residents, staff and families
- Plan it with your catering manager
- Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen
- Tell us about residents’ needs in writing
Food for residents indoors goes straight in on plates.
Bunting, deckchairs and a seaside theme make it an occasion.
Common questions in Westcott Barton
Do you come out to small places like Westcott Barton?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Which station is closest to Westcott Barton?
Heyford station, about 3.4 miles east of the centre.
Do you offer repeat visits?
Yes, ask us about regular dates.
Do you do residents’ portions?
Tell us what you need and we’ll plan portion sizes with your team.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
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.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce and it is on the menu.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and children love it.

Step by step
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. In summer, Westcott Barton has daylight until about 9:30pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Name one person we can call on the day
