Bough Beech: your questions answered
Is Bough Beech close to London?
About 23 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Bough Beech?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Do you do residents’ portions?
We will agree portion sizes with your kitchen or care team.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Plan it with your catering manager
- Let us know if smaller portions suit
- Organise staff to carry food in
- Count families who are joining in
We serve at the time the home chooses, around meals and medication.
Seaside photos give people something to talk about.
Takeaway run or book a van?
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. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Working with your venue
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.

A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- A clear way in for the van
