Is a fish and chip van right for your care home visit?

Taking residents out is a big undertaking. The van comes to the home. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

Why us?

  • Fried fresh, not kept warm
  • The queue at the hatch gets people talking
  • A quote that spells everything out
  • Served hot, straight from the hatch

Choosing a fish and chip van

What affects the price in Little Sandhurst

There’s nothing hidden: the quote reflects:

  • Your choice of menu
  • Access and parking
  • Numbers
  • Any minimum charge

Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your care home visit is.

Details that help

The more we know about your care home visit, the better we can plan. Please include:

  • A picture of where the van would go
  • Any dietary needs and allergies
  • Rough numbers for adults and children
  • Your date and serving time

Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and you’ll get a clear price. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.

Diets, allergies and planning

Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:

  • Keep the van clear of emergency access
  • Pick a time that suits the home’s day
  • Arrange plates and trays for residents inside
  • Plan it with your catering manager

Afterwards we pack up quietly.

Old seaside postcards and photos spark conversation.

Should I sort the food myself?

A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.

Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Questions from Little Sandhurst

Could you trade in Ambarrow Court?

Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.

Is Little Sandhurst close to London?

Roughly 32 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.

How long are you on site?

It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.

Where will the van park?

Your manager can choose the spot; we will check access.

What happens if it rains?

We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.

Are visitors included?

Yes. Just include them in your numbers.

Do we need to provide anything?

A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.

Do you have allergen information?

We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
