Questions from Chesham Bois
Do you come to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Which station is closest to Chesham Bois?
Amersham station, about 0.8 miles south of the centre.
Can you park at the home?
In the car park or on the drive, away from ambulance routes.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What about residents who don’t eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is usually simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you offer repeat visits?
We are happy to talk about repeat visits.
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. With darkness by about 3:55pm in December, winter van visits in Chesham Bois suit lunchtime.
- We start with a few details 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.
- We cook to order on the day for residents.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
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.

- Count families who are joining in

- Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen
Residents in their rooms get food on a covered tray straight away.
Inviting families makes it even more special.
