Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Clayhill
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 work to whatever the site needs.
Which station is closest to Clayhill?
The closest is High Wycombe station, roughly 2.8 miles away.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children typically love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
How much space do you need?

Can you come every month?
Yes, ask us about regular dates.
Is grass a problem?
Normally, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.

Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.

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 is fried on the spot.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
How the day works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Your residents can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. With darkness by about 3:55pm in December, winter van visits in Clayhill suit lunchtime, while summer visits can run into the evening, with light until about 9:25pm.
- First, tell us about your care home visit.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for residents.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep space clear for residents at the hatch

- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
