A fish and chip van or other catering?
Next to a delivery order, a van serves hot food on site, so food is hot when it reaches residents. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Plan portion sizes with us
- Plan how food reaches residents indoors
- List residents’ diets, allergies and portion needs
- Plan it with your catering manager
Visitors are welcome if included in numbers.
A regular date gives everyone something to look forward to.
Working with your venue
Organising a club, school or community event in Elvendon? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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.
