Chapel Row questions
Can the van go to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Which station is closest to Chapel Row?
The closest is Midgham station, roughly 1.7 miles away.
Can you do smaller portions for residents?
Portion sizes are agreed in advance.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac residents in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
What about residents on soft diets?
Your care team knows each resident’s needs. Share the diets and we will say what we can do; soft and texture-modified meals should come from your kitchen.
Can you park at the home?
Wherever suits the home, as long as it is level and safe; we will check access.

We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
A closer look at the menu
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- How long we serve
- Parking and the way in
- The day of the week
- The minimum booking
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The date and time of the event
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The venue or postcode
Not sure of numbers yet? That is fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will firm it up nearer the time. Start when you’re ready: fill in our quote form.
The process
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot when you are ready to eat. Garden visits in Chapel Row work best between late spring and early autumn, with sunset about 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September; in winter, keep it to lunchtime.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Tell us when you want to eat
