Care home fish and chips for Wigginton events
How it works
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. In Wigginton, the garden season runs from late May, with light until about 9:00pm, to late September, around 7:10pm; in winter, keep it to lunchtime.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
How to prepare
- Keep space clear for residents at the hatch
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Care home fish and chips for your care home visit in Wigginton
Some residents need texture-modified food, which the home’s own team prepares or advises on, so everyone can share the occasion safely. Typical bookings include care home summer fairs and sheltered housing get-togethers, with cod and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas.
Near Wigginton, residents may not get out much, so a chip van visit is a special day. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Takeaway run or book a van?
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 cooks in front of your residents instead.
