Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Choose a spot away from ambulance routes
- Tell us about residents’ needs in writing
- Let us know if smaller portions suit
- Fit the visit around routines
We serve at the time the home chooses, around meals and medication.
Bunting, deckchairs and a seaside theme make it an occasion.

Working with your venue
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
- Away from bedroom windows
- Lighting for later visits
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

Planning a van visit in Crowell Hill
Crowell Hill is about 5 miles south-east of Thame, in Oxfordshire. We cover Crowell Hill as standard, so your care home visit just needs a date, a spot for the van and a serving time. Crowell Hill is one of 443 places in Oxfordshire where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from Crowell Hill to Oxford (about 15 miles away).
Families coming by rail can use the station: the closest railway station is Saunderton station, roughly 3.4 miles east of the centre. If your residents have links with Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, a fête or open day together is a nice moment for a van visit. Crowell Hill is within about 2 miles of the Chilterns National Landscape.
Wherever your care home visit is in OX39, we can fry fresh for your residents, from busy streets to quiet lanes.

Is a fish and chip van right for your care home visit?
Compared with a takeaway delivery, a van serves hot food on site, so food is hot when it reaches residents. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.

How we price a fish and chip van visit
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Any minimum charge
- How many people are eating
- Distance and any road charges
- Parking and the way in
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your care home visit, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Your date and serving time
- A picture of the parking spot
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The spot you have in mind for the van
Not sure of numbers yet? That’s fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. Start when you are ready: fill in our quote form.
What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Step by step
Your timings come first. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. Sunset in Crowell Hill is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September; winter visits, dark by about 3:55pm, suit lunchtime.
- We start with a few details 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.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
How to get a price

Crowell Hill questions
What’s the nearest station to Crowell Hill?
Saunderton station, about 3.4 miles east of the centre.
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 will work to whatever the site needs.
What about residents on soft diets?
The home knows each resident best. Tell us about any diets and we will explain what we can offer; soft and texture-modified meals should come from your kitchen.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before booking.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Crowell Hill.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
