Food your guests will love

A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger residents and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Step by step
We work to your timings. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. In summer, Bury's Bank has 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.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, 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.
Before we arrive
- Clear the route for the van
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Tell us when you want to eat

Bury's Bank: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Bury's Bank?
The closest is Newbury Racecourse station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
Can the van park in New Greenham Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Can everyone take part?
The home knows each resident best. Tell us about any diets and we’ll explain what we can offer; texture-modified meals should be prepared or advised on by your own team.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Access the van can manage
- A lit spot for evening service
- A level, firm spot such as the car park or drive
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

A chip van compared with other options

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
- 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
