What comes out of the fryer

What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The date and time of year
- How many people are eating
- Any minimum charge
- Distance and any road charges
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
Details that help
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- A picture of where the van would go
- The address or venue name
- Where you’d like the van to go
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, use our quote form.
A fish and chip van or other catering?

DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
Space, access and the venue
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Firm, level ground close to the home
- Away from emergency access
- A spot residents can enjoy, inside or out
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
