What a fish and chip van costs

Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:

  • The length of service
  • The number of meals
  • Parking and the way in
  • Distance and any road charges

Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your care home visit.

What we need to know

To speed things up, tell us:

  • Anything awkward about the way in
  • Any dietary needs and allergies
  • Expected numbers
  • The venue or postcode

Not sure of numbers yet? That’s fine: tell us the basics about your care home visit, and we’ll quote on that. Start when you are ready: fill in our quote form.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

Next to a delivery order, the van cooks on site, so it is not lukewarm by the time it is plated. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.

Why book with us

  • A menu almost everyone likes
  • Quick service from the hatch
  • A clear quote before booking
  • All the chip-shop extras

Cocking Causeway: your questions answered

Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?

Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.

How far is Cocking Causeway from London?

Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.

Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?

Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac residents when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.

What food do you serve?

Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.

What does the van need?

A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your residents, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.

Can the van come to Cocking Causeway?

Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Cocking Causeway is within our area and the rest of West Sussex. To check your date, use our quote form.

Can the van park on grass?

Usually, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.

What about residents on soft diets?

Yes: residents on soft diets can share the occasion with meals from your kitchen, following their care plans.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?

Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.

A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
