- Payment terms and deposit
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Birchett's Green: your questions answered
How far is Birchett's Green from London?
Roughly 37 miles from the centre of London.
Is Birchett's Green too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can staff have lunch from the van?
Yes, and families love joining in.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac residents when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can you park at the home?
Your manager can choose the spot; we will check access.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
Can everyone take part?
Yes: residents on soft diets can share the occasion with meals from your kitchen, following their care plans.
Prices and what affects them
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- The minimum booking
- The menu and how many choices
- Parking and the way in
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your care home visit.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The venue or postcode
- A picture of the space and the way in
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
