Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Expected numbers
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The date and time of the event
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, use our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Plan IDDSI-level meals with your own team
- Organise staff to carry food in
- Fit the visit around routines
- Ask about smaller portions
Food for residents indoors goes straight in on plates, while it’s hot.
Inviting families makes it even more special.
Is a fish and chip van right for your care home visit?
Next to a delivery order, the van cooks on site, so it is not lukewarm by the time it’s plated. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Questions from Heyshott
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Heyshott too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your residents, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children usually love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
Can you park at the home?
Your manager can choose the spot; we’ll check access.
Can families and staff eat too?
Of course. Add them to your numbers.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
For event organisers in Heyshott
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
