What the van needs

Every site is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:

  • Away from emergency access
  • A lit spot for evening service
  • Firm, level ground close to the home

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

What a fish and chip van costs

These are the factors that matter most:

  • Distance and any road charges
  • Cod, haddock or both
  • Any minimum charge
  • The number of meals

Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.

What to tell us

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:

  • The spot you have in mind for the van
  • How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
  • The address or venue name
  • A picture of the parking spot

Not sure of numbers yet? That’s fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will quote on that. To start, fill in our quote form.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.

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.

Step by step

Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. December visits in Littleworth are best at lunchtime, as it’s dark by about 3:55pm, while summer visits can run into the evening, with light until about 9:20pm.

  1. We start with a few details about your care home visit.
  2. We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
  3. Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
  4. We cook to order on the day for residents.
  5. We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.

Before we arrive

  • Have a level parking spot ready
  • Share the timings for the day
  • Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
