We plan portions and dietary needs with the home.
We park up and cook to order at mealtime.
We clear up and leave the car park as we found it.

A short history of fish and chips

Diets, allergies and planning

With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:

Plan it with your catering manager
Fit the visit around routines
Arrange plates and trays for residents inside
Plan portion sizes with us

We set up before the mealtime, quietly.

A seaside theme with bunting adds to the fun.

Before you choose a spot

Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:

Away from bedroom windows
A route in without tight gates
Light near the van after dark

If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Service time

Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

The more we know about your care home visit, the better we can plan. Please include:

Anything awkward about the way in
Your date and serving time
A picture of where the van would go
Allergies and diets you know about

Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll quote on that. Start when you’re ready: fill in our quote form.

A fish and chip van or other catering?

A trip out to a restaurant is hard for many residents. A van brings the treat to them. 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 you get with us

Fried fresh, not kept warm
We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
Quick service from the hatch
Something for residents to gather round

Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Bockmer End

Is Bockmer End too small for a chip van?

No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

Is Bockmer End close to London?

Roughly 32 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.

Do you have allergen information?

Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item.

What about residents on soft diets?

Yes, with meals for texture-modified diets from the home’s own kitchen, following their care plans.

Do you do residents’ portions?

We’ll agree portion sizes with your kitchen or care team.

How fast is service?

Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.

Are visitors included?

Yes, and families love joining in.

What do we need to supply?

A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?

Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

For event organisers in Bockmer End

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.

For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
