Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

Common questions in Little Kimble
Can the van go to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Is Little Kimble too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac residents when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your care home visit and we’ll send a quote.
Can everyone take part?
The home knows each resident best. Tell us about any diets and we’ll explain what we can offer; texture-modified meals should be prepared or advised on by your own team.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Space, access and the venue
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A clear way in for the van
- Away from bedroom windows
- Firm, level ground close to the home
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.

How it works
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. Garden visits in Little Kimble work best between late spring and early autumn, with sunset about 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Keep space clear for residents at the hatch
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
