Care home fish and chips in Westmarsh, cooked to order
Residents on soft or texture-modified diets need special care, which should come from the home’s own kitchen and care team. We serve gravy, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and we are frequently booked for a monthly fish and chip day and residents’ birthdays and anniversaries.
Near Westmarsh, residents may not get out much, so a van visit is a big occasion. We cook inside the van, right where your residents are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

- A clear way in for the van
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
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.

Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Westmarsh
Do you come out to small places like Westmarsh?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Westmarsh close to London?
About 60 miles from central London.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
Is grass a problem?
Typically, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Working with your venue

If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
