Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can 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.
Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Plan IDDSI-level meals with your own team
- Involve the kitchen and care team early
- Ask about smaller portions
- Count families who are joining in
Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Music from the 1950s and 60s sets the mood.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How long we serve
- Parking and the way in
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The minimum booking
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Expected numbers
- A photo of the space and the way in
- The venue or postcode
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. To send your details, fill in our quote form.
