For event organisers in Chesham
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- List residents’ diets, allergies and portion needs
- Choose a spot away from ambulance routes
- Organise staff to carry food in
- Fit the visit around routines
Staff carry plates to residents who can’t come outside.
A bit of music from residents’ younger days helps.

Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:

- Cod, haddock or both
- How long we serve
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your care home visit is.

The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
