How we price a fish and chip van visit
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- How far we travel
- The length of service
- Your choice of menu
- How easy the site is to reach
Larger groups usually cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
The more we know about your care home visit, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Where you’d like the van to go
- A photo of the space and the way in
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, use our quote form.

How it works
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch when you are ready to eat. For a summer visit in Brookhampton, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:25pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- It starts with your date, numbers and mealtime.
- We check where the van can park and send a quote.
- We agree portion sizes and any diets with your kitchen or care team.
- We park up and cook to order at mealtime.
- Afterwards, we pack up quietly.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Let us know the serving time
- Clear the route for the van

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
