Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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.
What affects the price in Acton Green
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- Access and parking
- Service time
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Whether a minimum applies
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
Details that help
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Your date and serving time
- The address or venue name
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Plan IDDSI-level meals with your own team
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- List residents’ diets, allergies and portion needs
- Choose a time around meals and medication
Residents in their rooms get food on a covered tray right away.
Bunting, deckchairs and a seaside theme make it an occasion.
How it works
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your care home visit. December visits in Acton Green are best at lunchtime, as it is dark by about 3:55pm, while summer visits can run into the evening, with light until about 9:20pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- 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

- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
As a London location, Acton Green is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
