A chip van near Brunswick
Brunswick: your questions answered
Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
How far is Brunswick from London?
Roughly 47 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac residents and we will explain the options.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Residents will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
How much does a fish and chip van visit cost in Brunswick?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
What about residents who don’t eat fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Care home fish and chips for your care home visit in Brunswick
Some residents need texture-modified food, which should come from the home’s own kitchen and care team, so everyone can share the occasion safely. We’re often asked to cater themed afternoons and residents’ family gatherings, with pie and chips, haddock and chips and gravy.
Around Brunswick, homes frequently have a drive and garden. Let us know about the way in. You’ll know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
Space, access and the venue
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Not blocking ambulance bays
- A clear way in for the van
- Close to the garden or entrance
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
