Other occasions in Chinnor
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.

What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How many people are eating
- Parking and the way in
- How far we travel
Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is usually the best value.

Working with your venue
Organising a club, school or community event in Chinnor? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
How the day works
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your care home visit. In Chinnor, the garden season runs from late May, with light until about 8:55pm, to late September, around 7:05pm; in winter, keep it to lunchtime.
- The home tells us the date, numbers for residents, staff and visitors, and the best time to serve.
- We check the parking spot and send a price.
- We plan portions and dietary needs with the home.
- We serve hot from the hatch at the time the home chooses.
- Afterwards, we pack up quietly.
Preparing for the day

Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Plan portion sizes with us
- Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen
- Arrange plates and trays for residents inside
- Involve the kitchen and care team early
We set up before the mealtime.
Bunting, deckchairs and a seaside theme make it an occasion.
Chinnor questions

Which areas do you serve?

What can residents choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
What does it cost to hire the van?
