Planning a van visit in Haddenham
Haddenham is about 6 miles south-west of Aylesbury, in Buckinghamshire. Give us the address of your care home visit in Haddenham, and we will plan the route and the parking spot before the day. We take the van to all 263 towns and villages across Buckinghamshire, from the larger towns to small villages. We serve events right across the region, from Haddenham to Oxford (about 13 miles away).
Some homes in Haddenham have links with a local church such as Parish Church of St Mary, and a van visit can be part of a summer fête. Old photos of Snakemoor can spark conversation during a van visit. The Chilterns National Landscape is within about 8 miles of Haddenham, a nice prompt for residents’ memories of days out.
Anywhere in HP17, we can bring the van to you. Local streets include High Street, Station Road and Printers Piece; a care home visit on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. Other places close to Haddenham we cover include Kingsey (1 mile south), Cuddington (2 miles north), Gibraltar (2 miles north-east), Chearsley (2 miles north-west) and Towersey (2 miles south). Within a short drive, we also cover Aylesbury (6 miles north-east), High Wycombe (12 miles south-east), Chesham (14 miles east), Marlow (15 miles south-east), Amersham (15 miles south-east) and Elmhurst (6 miles north-east).

Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Haddenham
How far is Haddenham from London?
About 40 miles from central London.
Which station is closest to Haddenham?
The closest is Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you do regular visits?
Tell us how frequently you’d like a visit.
What about residents on soft diets?
Yes, with meals for texture-modified diets from the home’s own kitchen, following their care plans.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Haddenham.
Where will the van park?
Wherever suits the home, as long as it is level and safe.

- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.

Diets, allergies and planning

Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- The number of meals
- The length of service
- Cod, haddock or both
- The day of the week
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of the parking spot
Still finalising the details? That is fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will firm it up nearer the time. Start when you’re ready: fill in our quote form.
