How we price a fish and chip van visit
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- Numbers
- Your choice of menu
- The length of service
- Any minimum charge
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- A photo of the parking spot
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Your date and serving time
- Roughly how many people, including children
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, fill in our quote form.
Care home fish and chips for your care home visit in Hackney
The van parks in the car park, on the drive or on a firm lawn, clear of ambulance access. On the menu are sausage and chips, gravy and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for themed afternoons and birthday treats for residents.
For a care home in Hackney, a short stay in the car park works well. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

FAQs for Hackney
What about parking in Hackney?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
What’s the nearest station to Hackney?
Hackney has its own station: Homerton station.
Where will the van park?
Wherever suits the home, as long as it is level and safe.
Can everyone take part?
Yes: residents on soft diets can share the occasion with meals from your kitchen.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Food your guests will love
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Is a fish and chip van right for your care home visit?
Activities are important; a van visit is both. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.

Read our pricing or our guide to van hire costs.
Organising for someone else?
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
The process
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. In Hackney, late spring and early autumn evenings stay light until about 8:50pm and 7:05pm; winter visits, dark by about 3:55pm, suit lunchtime.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
