Common questions in Bradley
Is Bradley close to London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is Bradley too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What about residents on soft diets?
The home knows each resident best. Tell us about any diets and we will explain what we can offer; soft and texture-modified meals should come from your kitchen.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for residents.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Where will the van park?
In the car park or on the drive, away from ambulance routes.
About our care home fish and chips in Bradley
A regular visit gives everyone something to look forward to. Popular choices include mushy peas, haddock and chips and pie and chips, and we’re often booked for lunch for the care team and residents’ birthdays and anniversaries.
At a rural home near Bradley, access matters. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Planning the van’s spot
We’ll be honest if a spot will not work, and help find another. What matters most:
- A level, firm spot such as the car park or drive
- Close to the garden or entrance
- With the serving side away from windows
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we serve
- Mushy peas
- Pie and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Gravy
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
Organising for someone else?
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.

About the food
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Bradley?
Next to a delivery order, a van serves hot food on site, so food is hot when it reaches residents. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
Why book with us
- Hot food handed straight over
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- We cover Bradley and the whole of Hampshire
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Whether a minimum applies
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
- Service time
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Your date and serving time
- Where the van would park
- A picture of where the van would go
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Plan IDDSI-level meals with your own team
- Plan it with your catering manager
- Pick a time that suits the home’s day
- Plan portion sizes with us
Families can join in, with numbers agreed in advance.
A seaside theme with bunting adds to the fun.

- Portions and diets are planned with your care team.
- We park up and cook to order at mealtime.
