DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Organise staff to carry food in
- Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Pick a time that suits the home’s day
Visitors are welcome if included in numbers.
Inviting families makes it even more special.
How we price a fish and chip van visit
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The day of the week
- Distance and any road charges
- The length of service
- How easy the site is to reach
The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

- Anything awkward about the way in
- A picture of where the van would go
