Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Away from bedroom windows
- Lighting for later visits
- Close to the garden or entrance
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.

What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The day of the week
- How easy the site is to reach
- Your choice of menu
- How far we travel
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. Your quote spells it all out.
