Questions from Fawley
Which station is closest to Fawley?
The closest is Henley-On-Thames station, roughly 2.7 miles away.
Can the van go to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac residents and we’ll explain the options before booking.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
How long are you on site?
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 about residents on soft diets?
Yes, with meals for texture-modified diets from the home’s own kitchen.
Can you do smaller portions for residents?
Tell us what you need and we will plan portion sizes with your team.

Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
How it works
Your timings come first. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. Sunset in Fawley is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September; for winter visits, choose lunchtime.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for residents.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Make sure the van can get in
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

A care home summer fair, perhaps with a church like St Mary the Virgin's Church, is a good occasion for a van visit.

Organising for someone else?
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Fawley? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
