Care home fish and chips in Windlesham, fried fresh
Residents can watch from the window or come out to the hatch, and families are welcome too. Whether it is day centres and lunch clubs and lunch for the care team, we can cook cod and chips, gravy and haddock and chips for your guests.
Around Windlesham, homes often have a drive and garden. Tell us about access. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.
What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.

Is Windlesham close to London?
Roughly 26 miles from the centre of London.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
Are visitors included?
Yes, and families love joining in.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.
How much does a fish and chip van visit cost in Windlesham?

Events we cater in Windlesham

Whatever brings people together, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. We’re often booked for:
- Care home summer fairs
- Lunch for the care team
- Seaside days

Visitors arriving by train should know that the nearest station is Bagshot station, about 1.4 miles west.
What your quote should include
- The deposit and payment dates

Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- List residents’ diets, allergies and portion needs
- Plan IDDSI-level meals with your own team
- Arrange plates and trays for residents inside
- Agree the plan with your kitchen and care team
Residents in their rooms get food on a covered tray right away.
Inviting families makes it even more special.
Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Windlesham?
Next to a delivery order, the van cooks on site, so food is hot when it reaches residents. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
Why Windlesham hosts choose us
- Something for residents to gather round
- Quick service from the hatch
- Everything cooked to order at your event
