The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce and it’s on the menu.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Share residents’ diets and allergies with us
- Plan portion sizes with us
- Check the spot with your manager
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
Food for residents indoors goes straight in on plates.
A bit of music from residents’ younger days helps.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Your kitchen could cook it, but a van turns it into an occasion. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your care home visit is.

Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Lane End
Do you come to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
What’s the nearest station to Lane End?
High Wycombe station, about 3.8 miles east of the centre.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for residents.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children typically love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
