FAQs for Broughton Crossing
Is Broughton Crossing too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.

On a level spot in the car park or drive, clear of emergency access.

Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.

Yes, with meals for texture-modified diets from the home’s own kitchen.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Plan how food reaches residents indoors
- Plan it with your catering manager
- Tell us about residents’ needs in writing
- Pick a time that suits the home’s day
When everyone has eaten, we pack up.

A chip van compared with other options
Compared with a takeaway delivery, the van cooks on site, so it is not lukewarm by the time it is plated. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
