Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger residents and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
A chip van compared with other options
The home’s kitchen can make fish and chips, but a van turns it into an occasion. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is frequently the best value.

Planners, venues and businesses
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Ask about smaller portions
- Share residents’ diets and allergies with us
- Check the spot with your manager
- Plan IDDSI-level meals with your own team
We serve at the time the home chooses, around meals and medication.
Seaside photos give people something to talk about.
What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. In general, we need:
- Lighting for later visits
- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
- A level parking spot near the entrance
Barnehurst is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
What affects the price in Barnehurst
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Access and parking
- Whether a minimum applies
- The length of service
- Cod, haddock or both
Larger groups typically cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Expected numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Send us the date, the address or DA7 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and you’ll get a clear price. Just send us your details through our quote form.
