Do you have allergen information?

Do we need to provide equipment?

Where will the van park?
Wherever suits the home, as long as it’s level and safe; we’ll check access.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground

- A picture of the parking spot

What the van needs

Is a fish and chip van right for your care home visit?
A themed afternoon with a van feels like a day out, without leaving the home. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your care home visit is.
Why us?
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- A van that becomes part of the event
Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
