Is a fish and chip van right for your care home visit?
A trip out to a restaurant is hard for many residents. A van brings the treat to them. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.

Working with your venue
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Involve the kitchen and care team early
- Tell us about residents’ needs in writing
- Fit the visit around routines
- Let us know if smaller portions suit
When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
A seaside theme with bunting adds to the fun.
Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.

When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
Getting an accurate quote
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- A picture of where the van would go
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Where the event is
Still finalising the details? That is fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll quote on that. To start, fill in our quote form.
Planning the van’s spot
If a spot isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Not blocking ambulance bays
- Firm, level ground close to the home
- With the serving side away from windows
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
