Higham questions
Do you come out to small places like Higham?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Higham from London?
Roughly 24 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
How much does a fish and chip van visit cost in Higham?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What can residents choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Do you do regular visits?
We are happy to talk about repeat visits.
What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Parking and the way in
- Your choice of menu
- The length of service
- The date and time of year
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your care home visit is.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The address or venue name
- Anything awkward about the way in
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
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.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Organise staff to carry food in
- Plan it with your catering manager
- Tell us about residents’ needs in writing
- Keep the van clear of emergency access
We set up before the mealtime, quietly.
