Fresh fish and chips in Charter Alley
How it works
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. In summer, Charter Alley has daylight until about 9:25pm, which makes garden visits easy. In December, with dark by about 4:00pm, lunchtime is best.
- First, tell us about your care home visit.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for residents.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Give us a contact for the day

Is a fish and chip van right for your care home visit?
Compared with a takeaway delivery, a van serves hot food on site, so food is hot when it reaches residents. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
