Book the van in Hunston
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Compared with a takeaway delivery, the van cooks on site, so food is hot when it reaches residents. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your care home visit.

For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Count families who are joining in
- Plan how food reaches residents indoors
- Share residents’ diets and allergies with us
- Plan portion sizes with us
Residents in their rooms get food on a covered tray straight away.
Seaside photos give people something to talk about.
The process
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your care home visit. For a summer visit in Hunston, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In December, with dark by about 4:00pm, lunchtime is best.
- You share your date, numbers and address.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.

Hunston questions
Is Hunston close to London?
About 56 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you serve near the sea around Hunston?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Children typically love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Can you do smaller portions for residents?
We’ll plan portions with the home.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your care home visit and we will send a quote.
Where will the van park?
Wherever suits the home, as long as it is level and safe; we will check access.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
