- How many people are eating
- Distance and any road charges
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your care home visit is.

What else we do in Bletchley
DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
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 is crisp.
Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger residents and fish-dodgers.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Bletchley
Is Bletchley close to London?
About 44 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can the van park in Waterhall Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first.
Can residents with special diets join in?
Yes, with meals for texture-modified diets from the home’s own kitchen.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac residents when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Are visitors included?
Yes. Just include them in your numbers.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Do you do regular visits?
We are happy to talk about repeat visits.
Do you do residents’ portions?
We will plan portions with the home.
