Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How long we serve
- How far we travel
- The day of the week
- How easy the site is to reach
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. A short menu is frequently the best value.
Details that help
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Expected numbers
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Your date and serving time
The quickest way to a quote is to fill in our quote form. Give us the details of your care home visit, and we will check the date and send a price.
Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Chadlington
Is Chadlington close to London?
About 67 miles from central London.
Which station is closest to Chadlington?
Charlbury station, about 2.4 miles south-east of the centre.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Children normally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
How much does a fish and chip van visit cost in Chadlington?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your care home visit and we will send a quote.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac residents in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.

- Arrange plates and trays for residents inside
- Count families who are joining in
- Ask about smaller portions

Inviting families makes it even more special.
About the food
