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

Why book with us
- We cover Great Haseley and the whole of Oxfordshire
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Common questions in Great Haseley
Can the van go to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is Great Haseley close to London?
Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Do you do regular visits?
Tell us how often you’d like a visit.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Can families and staff eat too?
Yes, it is a lovely chance for families to visit.
Do you cover Great Haseley?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Great Haseley. To check your date, use our quote form.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- The menu and how many choices
- Access and parking
- The minimum booking
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The date and time of the event
- Expected numbers
- The address or venue name
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll check availability right away.
Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few residents with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Fit the visit around routines
- Plan it with your catering manager
- Let us know if smaller portions suit
- Arrange texture-modified meals from your own kitchen
Food for residents indoors goes straight in on plates.
A bit of music from residents’ younger days helps.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
