- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Rough numbers for adults and children

Why choose a fish and chip van in Cores End?
Compared with a takeaway delivery, the van cooks on site, so it isn’t lukewarm by the time it’s plated. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
What you get with us
- A quote that spells everything out
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side

- Fish and chips fried fresh on site

You do not need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your care home visit. The frying and serving are down to us. Garden visits in Cores End work best between late spring and early autumn, with sunset about 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for residents.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Ensure the van can get in
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Planning help
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
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 generally the easier option.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Plan IDDSI-level meals with your own team
- Agree numbers for residents, staff and families
- Plan it with your catering manager
- Share residents’ diets and allergies with us
Residents in their rooms get food on a covered tray right away.
Bunting, deckchairs and a seaside theme make it an occasion.
Working with your venue
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.
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.
