Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
How our care home fish and chips works in Hempton
Smaller portions and plates with cutlery suit many residents, and we plan that with you. For retirement housing and sheltered schemes and a monthly fish and chip day, we’ll put together a menu of pie and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
Near Hempton, residents may not get out much, so a chip van visit is a special day. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

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 you get to enjoy the day.
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’s crisp.

Common questions in Hempton
Do you come out to small places like Hempton?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Which station is closest to Hempton?
The closest is Kings Sutton station, roughly 4 miles away.
Can you park at the home?
On a level spot in the car park or drive, clear of emergency access.
Do you do regular visits?
We are happy to talk about repeat visits.
Is everything cooked fresh?

Can everyone take part?
Yes: residents on soft diets can share the occasion with meals from your kitchen, following their care plans.

It depends on the road. Off-road parking is normally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
