How we price a fish and chip van visit

The price comes down to a few factors:

  • The day of the week
  • How many people are eating
  • How easy the site is to reach
  • The menu and how many choices

Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.

Details that help

These details help us quote quickly:

  • Where you’d like the van to go
  • Dietary needs, with numbers
  • The date and when you’d like to eat
  • A picture of where the van would go

Not sure of numbers yet? That’s fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will quote on that. To start, use our quote form.

Takeaway run or book a van?

A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.

Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.

Questions from De Beauvoir Town

Is parking a problem for the van in De Beauvoir Town?

London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.

Could you trade in Shoreditch Park?

Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.

Can you serve children?

Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.

Do you have allergen information?

Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.

Can you come every month?

Tell us how often you’d like a visit.

Can the van come to De Beauvoir Town?

We do. De Beauvoir Town is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.

Do we need to provide equipment?

We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.

Can staff have lunch from the van?

Yes, it is a lovely chance for families to visit.

Food your guests will love

Sausage and chips

A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger residents and fish-dodgers.

Haddock and chips

Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.

What happens on the day

We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can get on with your care home visit. Garden visits in De Beauvoir Town work best between late spring and early autumn, with sunset about 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.

  1. It starts with your date, numbers and mealtime.
  2. We check where the van can park and send a quote.
  3. We agree portion sizes and any diets with your kitchen or care team.
  4. We serve hot from the hatch at the time the home chooses.
  5. We clear up and leave the car park as we found it.

Before we arrive

  • Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
  • Give us your final numbers and allergies
  • Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

What the van needs

No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:

  • With the serving side away from windows
  • A clear way in for the van
  • Firm, level ground close to the home

As a London location, De Beauvoir Town is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.

From the hatch

  • Gravy
  • Mushy peas
  • Cod and chips
  • Pie and chips
  • Sausage and chips
  • Haddock and chips

Allergies and dietary needs

Most events have a few residents with dietary needs. To look after them:

  • Ask about smaller portions
  • Fit the visit around routines
  • Arrange texture-modified meals from your own kitchen
  • Arrange plates and trays for residents inside

We set up before the mealtime.

A regular date gives everyone something to look forward to.

Planners, venues and businesses

Planning an event for a club, school or charity in De Beauvoir Town? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.

Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

For a treat residents will talk about, a chip van visit is hard to beat. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

  • No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
  • All the chip-shop extras
  • Something for residents to gather round
