Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Care home fish and chips in Folly Town, cooked to order
Residents on soft or texture-modified diets need special care, which should come from the home’s own kitchen and care team, so everyone can share the occasion safely. Popular choices include cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for summer fêtes and open days and family days.
Near Folly Town, residents may not get out much, so a van visit is a big occasion. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How long we serve
- The number of meals
- Whether a minimum applies
- The menu and how many choices
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
