We park close to the entrance or garden, away from emergency routes. We are frequently asked to cater day centres and lunch clubs and seaside-themed afternoons, with cod and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
For a care home in a place like Britwell, a van visit brings a bit of the seaside to residents. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

What happens on the day

For a summer visit in Britwell, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:25pm, which makes garden visits easy. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.

FAQs for Britwell
Is Britwell close to London?
About 23 miles from central London.
Could you trade in Cocksherd Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Can residents with special diets join in?
The home knows each resident best. Tell us about any diets and we will explain what we can offer; texture-modified meals should be prepared or advised on by your own team.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before booking.
Can you come every month?
We are happy to talk about repeat visits.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
A chip van compared with other options
A themed afternoon with a van feels like a day out, without leaving the home. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Where the van can park in Britwell
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- Close to the garden or entrance
- A clear way in for the van
- Not blocking ambulance bays
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Popular choices
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Gravy
- Pie and chips
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
