Is a fish and chip van right for your care home visit?
A trip out to a restaurant is hard for many residents. A van brings the treat to them. Larger groups typically cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Why book our van in Cold Brayfield
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- All the chip-shop extras
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Cold Brayfield
How far is Cold Brayfield from London?
About 51 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is Cold Brayfield too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van come to Cold Brayfield?
We do. We serve events in Cold Brayfield and across Milton Keynes. Send us your date to check availability.
Can you park at the home?
Your manager can choose the spot.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Can you come every month?
Ask us about repeat dates when you enquire.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Share residents’ diets and allergies with us
- Plan portion sizes with us
- Count families who are joining in
- Keep the van clear of emergency access
Staff carry plates to residents who can’t come outside.
Bunting, deckchairs and a seaside theme make it an occasion.

What happens on the day
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your residents can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. In summer, Cold Brayfield has daylight until about 9:25pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In winter, dark by about 3:50pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Keep space clear for residents at the hatch
