Care home fish and chips in Wonersh, fried fresh
We visit care homes, retirement housing, sheltered schemes and day centres. On the menu are sausage and chips, gravy and haddock and chips, and we are frequently booked for a monthly fish and chip day and residents’ birthdays and anniversaries.
Near Wonersh, residents may not get out much, so a chip van visit is a special day. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. For a summer visit in Wonersh, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
