Is a fish and chip van right for your care home visit?
The home’s kitchen can make fish and chips, but a van makes it an event. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your care home visit.

Bexon questions
Is Bexon too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Could you trade in Cromers Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Where should the van go?
On a level spot in the car park or drive, clear of emergency access.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Can portions be smaller?
We will plan portions with the home.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Residents will appreciate cover near the hatch.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
