Care home fish and chips in Drayton Parslow, cooked to order

Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Drayton Parslow
Is Drayton Parslow close to London?
About 43 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is Drayton Parslow too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before you book.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
How much does a fish and chip van visit cost in Drayton Parslow?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is usually simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
The process
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. In Drayton Parslow, late spring and early autumn evenings stay light until about 8:55pm and 7:05pm; winter visits, dark by about 3:55pm, suit lunchtime.
- We start with the date, numbers and a serving time that suits the home.
- You get an access check and a clear quote.
- We agree portion sizes and any diets with your kitchen or care team.
- We serve hot from the hatch at the time the home chooses.
- We pack up quietly and leave the space tidy.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Share the timings for the day
How to get a price
Send us the date, the address or MK17 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and we will reply with a quote. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.
