- A spot residents can enjoy, inside or out
- Not blocking ambulance bays
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

How it works
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. For a summer visit in Damerham, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:25pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In December, with dark by about 4:05pm, lunchtime is best.
- We start with the date, numbers and a serving time that suits the home.
- We check where the van can park and send a quote.
- Portions and diets are planned with your care team.
- We serve hot from the hatch at the time the home chooses.
- We clear up and leave the car park as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Make sure the van can get in
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

Planning help
Organising for someone else?
Organising a club, school or community event in Damerham? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Keep the van clear of emergency access
- Arrange plates and trays for residents inside
- Fit the visit around routines
- Share residents’ diets and allergies with us
Room service goes up covered and hot.
Bunting, deckchairs and a seaside theme make it an occasion.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Numbers
- How easy the site is to reach
- Cod, haddock or both
- Distance and any road charges
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is usually the best value.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Where the event is
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The date and time of the event
- Anything awkward about the way in
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
