Kingston Lisle questions
Do you come out to small places like Kingston Lisle?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you come to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before you book.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Children typically love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
Can staff have lunch from the van?
Yes. Add them to your numbers.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Prices and what affects them
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- The minimum booking
- The date and time of year
- Service time
- Numbers
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- A picture of the parking spot
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The address or venue name
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.

About the food
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Agree numbers for residents, staff and families
- Fit the visit around routines
- Plan portion sizes with us
- Tell us about residents’ needs in writing
We serve at the time the home chooses, around meals and medication.
A seaside theme with bunting adds to the fun.
