A chip van near Alscot
How the day works
Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch. Afterwards we pack up. With darkness by about 3:55pm in December, winter van visits in Alscot suit lunchtime.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for residents.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Keep space clear for residents at the hatch
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Alscot: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Alscot?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you come to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can everyone take part?
The home knows each resident best. Share the diets and we will say what we can do; soft and texture-modified meals should come from your kitchen.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your care home visit and we’ll send a quote.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Can the van come to Alscot?
Yes, we do. Alscot is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Where should the van go?
On a level spot in the car park or drive, clear of emergency access.

Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How far we travel
