Care home fish and chips for your care home visit in Wooden Hill
Fish and chips stirs happy memories for many older people. A van visit turns a meal into an event. On the menu are gravy, pie and chips and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for sheltered housing get-togethers and care staff treats.
Rural care homes near Wooden Hill can feel a long way from the seaside, so a chip van visit is a special day. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

What the van needs
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Clear of ambulance access and emergency routes
- A spot residents can enjoy, inside or out
- A level, firm spot such as the car park or drive
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

Working with your venue
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Questions from Wooden Hill
How far is Wooden Hill from London?
Roughly 30 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Wooden Hill?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including Bracknell Forest. See all areas.
Can families and staff eat too?
Yes, it is a lovely chance for families to visit.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Food your guests will love
