Aston: your questions answered
How far is Aston from London?
About 34 miles from central London.
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 will work to whatever the site needs.
What about residents on soft diets?
The home knows each resident best. Share the diets and we’ll say what we can do; soft and texture-modified meals should come from your kitchen.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac residents and we’ll explain the options before booking.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for residents are worth planning.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Can the van park on grass?
Normally, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.

Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How many people are eating
- The menu and how many choices
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The date and when you’d like to eat
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, use our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Step by step
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. Residents will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Sunset in Aston is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September; for winter visits, choose lunchtime.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, 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
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Give us a contact for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

What the van needs
If a spot isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you. The main points are:
- A level parking spot near the entrance
- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
- A lit spot for evening service
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

- Pie and chips
- Cod and chips
- Gravy
- Sausage and chips

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
