What affects the price in Brighthampton
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Any minimum charge
- Cod, haddock or both
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How long we serve
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your care home visit.
Details that help
The more we know about your care home visit, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rough numbers for adults and children
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
How the day works
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. In summer, Brighthampton has daylight until about 9:30pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- First, tell us about your care home visit.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for residents.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
