Is a fish and chip van right for your care home visit?

A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and it’s a favourite with children.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Access and parking
- Whether a minimum applies
- The day of the week
- Cod, haddock or both
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- The address or venue name
- A picture of the parking spot
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Fenny Stratford
Is Fenny Stratford close to London?
Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to Fenny Stratford?

Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Can staff have lunch from the van?
Of course. Add them to your numbers.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac residents in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.

- A lit spot for evening service
- A level parking spot near the entrance
