How our care home fish and chips works in Wraysbury
Monthly or seasonal visits become a highlight in the calendar. Typical bookings include open days for families and staff thank-you lunches at the home, with pie and chips, gravy and cod and chips.
Care homes around Wraysbury are often in converted houses with a drive. Tell us about access. 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’s handed over.
The process
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. With darkness by about 3:55pm in December, winter van visits in Wraysbury suit lunchtime.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Keep space clear for residents at the hatch
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
Ask for a quote
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.

Questions from Wraysbury
Is Wraysbury close to London?
Roughly 20 miles from the centre of London.
What’s the nearest station to Wraysbury?
Sunnymeads station, about 0.8 miles north of the centre.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Do you cover Wraysbury?
We do. We serve events in Wraysbury and across Surrey. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
Can everyone take part?
Your care team knows each resident’s needs. Share the diets and we’ll say what we can do; texture-modified meals should be prepared or advised on by your own team.
Is a fish and chip van right for your care home visit?
A themed afternoon with a van feels like a day out, without leaving the home. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

A closer look at the menu
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
DIY versus a fish and chip 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’s fried on the spot.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
