Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Arrange plates and trays for residents inside
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Plan portion sizes with us
- Share residents’ diets and allergies with us
We serve at the time the home chooses, around meals and medication.
Inviting families makes it even more special.
How we price a fish and chip van visit
These are the factors that matter most:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Parking and the way in
- Distance and any road charges
- How long we serve
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- A photo of the parking spot
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Anything awkward about the way in
Not sure of numbers yet? That is fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. Start when you’re ready: send us your details through our quote form.
What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
How it works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it is served. For a summer visit in Brightwalton Green, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:25pm, which makes garden visits easy. In December, with dark by about 4:00pm, lunchtime is best.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Tell us when you want to eat

Common questions in Brightwalton Green
Do you come out to small places like Brightwalton Green?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Brightwalton Green close to London?
About 56 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
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 the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Can you do smaller portions for residents?
We’ll plan portions with the home.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
