How it works
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. In summer, Egypt has daylight until about 9:25pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- First, tell us about your care home visit.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for residents.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

How we price a fish and chip van visit
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- How long we serve
- The date and time of year
- How easy the site is to reach
- The number of meals
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Roughly how many people, including children
- A picture of where the van would go
Send us the date, the address or SL2 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and we’ll reply with a quote. Just use our quote form.
Takeaway run or book a van?
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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and children love it.

Every site is different, so we will ask about yours when you contact us. In general, we need:
- With the serving side away from windows
- A level, firm spot such as the car park or drive
- A lit spot for evening service
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
