Chale Green questions
Is Chale Green too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
How much does a fish and chip van visit cost in Chale Green?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your care home visit and we will send a quote.
What about residents who do not eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your residents, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Can everyone take part?
The home knows each resident best. Share the diets and we will say what we can do; soft and texture-modified meals should come from your kitchen.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.

A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Where the van can park in Chale Green
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Not right beside residents’ rooms
- A level, firm spot such as the car park or drive
- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
For somewhere as remote as Chale Green, early notice helps us plan the trip.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
