Care home fish and chips in Green Street Green, fried fresh

What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Whether a minimum applies
- How far we travel
- Your choice of menu
- The number of meals
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Where the van would park
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the event is
Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. To start, use our quote form.
What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
What the van needs
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Close to the garden or entrance
- Firm, level ground close to the home
- Access the van can manage
Green Street Green is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

FAQs for Green Street Green
Can the van park in Hewitt's Chalk Bank?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first.
Which station is closest to Green Street Green?
The closest is Chelsfield station, roughly 0.9 miles away.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.

We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.

In the car park or on the drive, away from ambulance routes.

Yes: residents on soft diets can share the occasion with meals from your kitchen.

We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Involve the kitchen and care team early
- Choose a time around meals and medication
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Organise staff to carry food in
When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
Inviting families makes it even more special.
Organising for someone else?
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
