Monthly or seasonal visits become a highlight. Whether it is open days for families and day centre treats, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, cod and chips and sausage and chips for your guests.
At a rural home near Hurtmore, access matters so we can plan the route. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before booking.

Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.

What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- The day of the week
- Any minimum charge
- How long we serve
- Numbers
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quote, it helps to have:
- A photo of the parking spot
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Allergies and diets you know about
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, fill in our quote form.
Planning the van’s spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- A lit spot for evening service
- Access the van can manage
- A level parking spot near the entrance
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we serve
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Gravy
- Pie and chips
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Let us know if smaller portions suit
- Arrange texture-modified meals from your own kitchen
- Check the spot with your manager
- Arrange plates and trays for residents inside
When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
A regular date gives everyone something to look forward to.
