How the day works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. In Deepcut, late spring and early autumn evenings stay light until about 8:55pm and 7:05pm; winter visits, dark by about 3:55pm, suit lunchtime.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.

Planning help
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Taking residents out is a big undertaking. The van comes to the home. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your care home visit.
Why book with us
- A quote that spells everything out
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- A menu almost everyone likes
- Everything cooked to order at your event
Read our prices page or the cost guide.
Organising for someone else?
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Choose a spot away from ambulance routes
- Plan it with your catering manager
- Share residents’ diets and allergies with us
- Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen
Staff carry plates to residents who cannot come outside.
A seaside theme with bunting adds to the fun.
