Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Edgcott
Is Edgcott close to London?
About 48 miles from central London.
Is Edgcott too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can residents with special diets join in?
Yes, with meals for texture-modified diets from the home’s own kitchen, following their care plans.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your residents, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is typically simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
What about residents who do not eat fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Is a fish and chip van right for your care home visit?
For a lovely, simple occasion, a fish and chip van visit is a great choice. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.

Diets, allergies and planning

We serve at the time the home chooses, around meals and medication.
Music from the 1950s and 60s sets the mood.
