How our care home fish and chips works in Wooburn

At a rural home near Wooburn, access matters so we can plan the route. Everything is fried fresh at your care home visit, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
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 solves that by cooking on site.
How we price a fish and chip van visit
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How easy the site is to reach
- The number of meals
- The length of service
Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.
Details that help
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:

Wooburn questions
How far is Wooburn from London?
Roughly 26 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is Wooburn too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Are visitors included?
Yes. Just include them in your numbers.
Where will the van park?
Wherever suits the home, as long as it’s level and safe.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac residents in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Next to a delivery order, the van cooks on site, so it isn’t lukewarm by the time it is plated. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
Why book our van in Wooburn
- A clear quote before you book
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch when you are ready to eat. For a summer visit in Wooburn, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:25pm, which makes garden visits easy. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Make sure the van can get in
