Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
Why choose care home fish and chips in Frilford?
It gives staff a break from the kitchen.
Whatever brings people together, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. We regularly serve:

Frilford: your questions answered
Is Frilford close to London?
About 56 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Frilford?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Residents will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Can you park at the home?
On a level spot in the car park or drive, clear of emergency access.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
