How we price a fish and chip van visit
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The menu and how many choices
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your care home visit.
Details that help
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- The date and time of the event
- Where the event is
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Anything awkward about the way in
Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: tell us the basics about your care home visit, and we will firm it up nearer the time. Start when you are ready: send us your details through our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- List residents’ diets, allergies and portion needs
- Keep the van clear of emergency access
- Arrange plates and trays for residents inside
- Arrange texture-modified meals from your own kitchen
Afterwards we pack up quietly.
A bit of music from residents’ younger days helps.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.

Can the van go to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.

Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
Where will the van park?
On a level spot in the car park or drive, clear of emergency access.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Organising for someone else?
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
