Fawley Bottom questions

Is Fawley Bottom too small for a chip van?

Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

Which station is closest to Fawley Bottom?

The closest is Henley-On-Thames station, roughly 3 miles away.

Is there a non-fish option?

Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.

Can the van park on grass?

It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.

How do you handle allergies?

Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.

Can portions be smaller?

We will plan portions with the home.

Do you need power or water?

Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.

Do you offer repeat visits?

Ask us about repeat dates when you enquire.

Should I sort the food myself?

Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.

For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
