About the food
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and it’s a favourite with children.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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.

What’s the nearest station to Hill End?
Rickmansworth station, about 1.9 miles north of the centre.
Is Hill End too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.

Yes, and families love joining in.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.

Can everyone take part?
Yes, with meals for texture-modified diets from the home’s own kitchen.

What a fish and chip van costs
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- How easy the site is to reach
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The day of the week
- The number of meals
The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Where the event is
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Roughly how many people, including children
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
What happens on the day
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. For a summer visit in Hill End, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:25pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
