Step by step
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Garden visits in Little Tew work best between late spring and early autumn, with sunset about 9:00pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Let us know the serving time
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Make sure the van can get in

Little Tew: your questions answered
How far is Little Tew from London?
About 66 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small places like Little Tew?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A themed afternoon with a van feels like a day out. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What you get with us
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Something for residents to gather round
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
What affects the price in Little Tew
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The length of service
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Cod, haddock or both
- Parking and the way in
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The date and time of the event
- Expected numbers
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
Still finalising the details? That is fine: tell us the basics about your care home visit, and we’ll quote on that. Start when you are ready: fill in our quote form.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Agree the plan with your kitchen and care team
- Keep the van clear of emergency access
- Agree numbers for residents, staff and families
- Tell us about residents’ needs in writing
Families can join in, with numbers agreed in advance.
