FAQs for Denton
Which station is closest to Denton?
Newhaven Town station, about 0.6 miles south of the centre.
What about events near the coast?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
Can everyone take part?
Your care team knows each resident’s needs. Tell us about any diets and we’ll explain what we can offer; soft and texture-modified meals should come from your kitchen.
Do you come to Denton?
Yes, we do. Denton is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Can you park at the home?
On a level spot in the car park or drive, clear of emergency access.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac residents when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.

What a fish and chip van costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How easy the site is to reach
- How far we travel

To speed things up, tell us:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Dietary needs, with numbers

For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
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.

What happens on the day
We don’t cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. In Denton, late spring and early autumn evenings stay light until about 8:50pm and 7:05pm; winter visits, dark by about 3:55pm, suit lunchtime.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for residents.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
How to get a price
