A chip van compared with other options
Compared with a takeaway delivery, the van cooks on site, so it isn’t lukewarm by the time it’s plated. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
Why Breamore hosts choose us
- A clear quote before booking
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather

Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
FAQs for Breamore
Is Breamore too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Can staff have lunch from the van?
Yes, and families love joining in.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac residents in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
What about residents who do not eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Can you do smaller portions for residents?
Portion sizes are agreed in advance.

Planning help
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
