Care home fish and chips for your care home visit in Westley
Staff get a break from the usual routine. We serve haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and we’re frequently booked for retirement village events and open days for families.
At a rural home near Westley, access matters. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
How we price a fish and chip van visit
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Distance and any road charges
- Numbers
- Cod, haddock or both
- Access and parking
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your care home visit.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- A picture of the parking spot
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The date and time of the event
Each quote is put together for your care home visit. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and children love it.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
