Common questions in Great Kingshill
Is Great Kingshill close to London?
Roughly 30 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the van go to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Residents will appreciate cover near the hatch.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
What about residents on soft diets?
Your care team knows each resident’s needs. Share the diets and we’ll say what we can do; soft and texture-modified meals should come from your kitchen.
Do you cover Great Kingshill?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Great Kingshill and across Buckinghamshire. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
How we price a fish and chip van visit
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Service time
- How easy the site is to reach
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your care home visit.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Your date and serving time
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Where the van would park
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- List residents’ diets, allergies and portion needs
- Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen
- Plan how food reaches residents indoors
- Check the spot with your manager
We arrive in good time to park and heat the fryers, quietly.
A bit of music from residents’ younger days helps.
