About our care home fish and chips in Woolstone
We park close to the entrance or garden, away from emergency routes. We serve cod and chips, haddock and chips and gravy, and we’re regularly asked to cater retirement housing and sheltered schemes and staff thank-you lunches at the home.
For a care home in a place like Woolstone, a chip van visit is a real treat. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your care home visit, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
A trip out to a restaurant is hard for many residents. The van comes to the home. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your care home visit.

What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
What affects the price in Woolstone
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:

Details that help

- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Allergies and diets you know about

What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A spot residents can enjoy, inside or out
- Firm, level ground close to the home
- Not right beside residents’ rooms

Common questions in Woolstone
Which station is closest to Woolstone?
Milton Keynes Central station, about 2.2 miles west of the centre.
Could you trade in Campbell Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What about residents who do not eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Children typically love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
How much does a fish and chip van visit cost in Woolstone?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
The process
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. In summer, Woolstone has daylight until about 9:25pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
