For a care home near Langrish, tell us about lanes and the drive so we can plan the route. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- A level, firm spot such as the car park or drive
- A clear way in for the van
- Not blocking ambulance bays
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

What happens on the day
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. In Langrish, the garden season runs from late May, with light until about 8:55pm, to late September, around 7:05pm; in winter, keep it to lunchtime.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for residents.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Keep space clear for residents at the hatch
- Tell us when you want to eat

Planning help
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Fit the visit around routines
- Plan how food reaches residents indoors
- Count families who are joining in
- Plan it with your catering manager
Room service goes up covered and hot.
A regular date gives everyone something to look forward to.
Organising for someone else?
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
A chip van compared with other options
