For planners, venues and organisers

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.

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.

Space, access and the venue

Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:

Clear of ambulance access and emergency routes
Not right beside residents’ rooms
Access the van can manage

Choosing a fish and chip van

Step by step

There is very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your care home visit. We handle the cooking and serving. In Delly End, the garden season runs from late May, with light until about 9:00pm, to late September, around 7:10pm.

Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
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

Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Getting a price

Common questions in Delly End

What’s the nearest station to Delly End?

Finstock station, about 2.6 miles north of the centre.

Is Delly End close to London?

About 64 miles from central London, and well within our area.

Is everything cooked fresh?

It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

What areas do you cover?

We take the van across London and the South East, including Oxfordshire. See all areas.

Do you come to Delly End?

Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Delly End and the rest of Oxfordshire. For a quote, fill in our quote form.

What if we only have street parking?

That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.

What about residents who do not eat fish?

Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.

Can you cater for allergies?

Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?

Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.

Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
