How we price a fish and chip van visit

Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:

  • How far we travel
  • Your choice of menu
  • Any minimum charge
  • How easy the site is to reach

The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

What we need to know

The more we know about your care home visit, the better we can plan. Please include:

  • Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
  • Allergies and diets you know about
  • The venue or postcode
  • A photo of the parking spot

Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and we’ll reply with a quote. To get started, fill in our quote form.

Care home fish and chips in Kenton, cooked to order

A regular visit gives everyone something to look forward to. Whether it’s retirement village events and fish and chip Fridays, we will put together a menu of gravy, mushy peas and pie and chips for your guests.

Care homes in Kenton frequently have a small car park or drive, so we agree a spot clear of ambulance access. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the date, the service time and the menu.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

Entertainers and activities are great; a van visit combines a meal with an activity. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.

Why Kenton hosts choose us

  • The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
  • Served hot, straight from the hatch
  • Nothing for you to cook or clear
  • Events in Kenton and across Greater London

See our prices page or the cost guide.

Kenton: care homes and access

Kenton is about 2 miles south of Stanmore, in Greater London.

We cover all 764 towns and villages in Greater London. You can also see our page for London, about 11 miles away.

Residents who remember days out at Masons Field may enjoy talking about it over fish and chips. For families visiting by train, Kenton station, about 0.5 miles south-west, is the nearest station.

Anywhere in HA3, HA7 and HA1, we can fry fresh for your residents. Streets in the area include Retreat Close, Kenton Road and Woodgrange Avenue, and the van can serve a care home visit on any of them with a suitable parking spot. You will find Kenton on the A4006, so it is easy for us to reach with the van. We also bring the van to care home visits in South Kenton (1 mile south), Northwick Park (1 mile south-west), Greenhill (1 mile west), Wealdstone (1 mile north-west) and Harrow on the Hill (2 miles south-west).

How the day works

Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. Afterwards we pack up. With darkness by about 3:55pm in December, winter van visits in Kenton suit lunchtime.

  1. Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
  2. We come back with availability and a clear price.
  3. The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
  4. On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
  5. The pitch is left tidy when we go.

Before we arrive

  • Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
  • Give us your final numbers and allergies
  • Clear the route for the van

Questions from Kenton

Can the van park in Preston Park?

Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.

Which station is closest to Kenton?

The closest is Kenton station, roughly 0.5 miles away.

How do you handle allergies?

We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.

Do you take everything away?

The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for residents are worth planning.

Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?

Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac residents in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.

Is there a non-fish option?

We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.

What does it cost to hire the van?

Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we’ll reply with a price.

Do we need to provide anything?

Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.

What the van needs

The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:

  • Close to the garden or entrance
  • Away from emergency access
  • Lighting for later visits

As a London location, Kenton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

From the hatch

Planning for dietary needs

Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:

  • Plan portion sizes with us
  • Pick a time that suits the home’s day
  • Arrange plates and trays for residents inside
  • Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen

We arrive in good time to park and heat the fryers.

Seaside photos give people something to talk about.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.

Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

  • Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
  • Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
  • The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
  • Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
