DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Looking after everyone
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Plan how food reaches residents indoors
- Check the spot with your manager
- Plan IDDSI-level meals with your own team
- Pick a time that suits the home’s day
Staff carry plates to residents who cannot come outside, while it is hot.
A bit of music from residents’ younger days helps.
Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Little London
Do you come out to small places like Little London?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is Little London from London?
About 47 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for residents are worth planning.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Can staff have lunch from the van?
Of course. Just include them in your numbers.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
For event organisers in Little London
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.

Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. In summer, Little London has daylight until about 9:25pm, which makes garden visits easy. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.

- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
