DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Care home fish and chips for your care home visit in Longparish
Residents can watch from the window or come out to the hatch, and families are welcome too. We serve haddock and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas, and we are regularly asked to cater day centres and lunch clubs and a monthly fish and chip day.

Questions from Longparish
Is Longparish close to London?
Roughly 59 miles from the centre of London.
Is Longparish too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
How much does a fish and chip van visit cost in Longparish?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
Do you come to Longparish?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Longparish and across Hampshire. Tell us your date and we will check availability.

What comes out of the fryer

Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
