Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Luccombe Village
What’s the nearest station to Luccombe Village?
The closest is Shanklin station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Do you do residents’ portions?
We’ll agree portion sizes with your kitchen or care team.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
Can the van come to Luccombe Village?
Yes, we do. Luccombe Village is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Can everyone take part?
The home knows each resident best. Share the diets and we’ll say what we can do; texture-modified meals should be prepared or advised on by your own team.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
How we price a fish and chip van visit
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- The minimum booking
- The date and time of year
- How easy the site is to reach
- How long we serve
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
What we need to know
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The address or venue name
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Send us the date, the address or PO37 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and we will reply with a quote. To get started, use our quote form.
Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Keep the van clear of emergency access
- Count families who are joining in
- Plan it with your catering manager
- Organise staff to carry food in
We arrive in good time to park and heat the fryers, quietly.
A bit of music from residents’ younger days helps.
What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. December visits in Luccombe Village are best at lunchtime, as it is dark by about 4:00pm.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for residents.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

For planners, venues and organisers
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Firm, level ground close to the home
- Close to the garden or entrance
- A route in without tight gates
Luccombe Village is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
