A fish and chip van or other catering?
Activities are important; a van visit is both. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.

How it works
Your timings come first. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. December visits in East End are best at lunchtime, as it’s dark by about 3:55pm, while summer visits can run into the evening, with light until about 9:30pm.
- We start with the date, numbers and a serving time that suits the home.
- We check the parking spot and send a price.
- We plan portions and dietary needs with the home.
- On the day we set up and fry fresh, serving at the agreed time.
- We clear up and leave the car park as we found it.
How to prepare
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
How to get a price
Each quote is put together for your care home visit. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Planners, venues and businesses
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Involve the kitchen and care team early
- Plan portion sizes with us
- Choose a spot away from ambulance routes
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Bunting, deckchairs and a seaside theme make it an occasion.
Prices and what affects them
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Parking and the way in
- Cod, haddock or both
- The day of the week
- The number of meals
Larger groups usually cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- A picture of the parking spot
- The address or venue name
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Expected numbers
Send us the date, the address or OX29 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and we’ll reply with a quote. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.
