For planners, venues and organisers
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 service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Prices and what affects them
We will give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Your choice of menu
- Whether a minimum applies
- The number of meals
Larger groups normally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What we need to know
The more we know about your care home visit, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Where the event is
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Rough numbers for adults and children
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll check availability straight away.
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours when you contact us. In general, we need:
- A lit spot for evening service
- A level parking spot near the entrance
- Close to the garden or entrance
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

How it works
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot when you’re ready to eat. For a summer visit in Heyshott Green, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden visits easy. In December, with dark by about 4:00pm, lunchtime is best.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for residents.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Plan where the queue will stand

The menu, dish by dish
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there is pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Heyshott Green
Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Heyshott Green?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.

Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your residents, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.

London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Heyshott Green.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Typically, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
