Planning help
Looking after everyone
Most events have a few residents with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Let us know if smaller portions suit
- Pick a time that suits the home’s day
- Plan IDDSI-level meals with your own team
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
Room service goes up covered and hot.
A regular date gives everyone something to look forward to.
What the van needs
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Not right beside residents’ rooms
- Away from emergency access
- A lit spot for evening service

Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Questions from Middle Wallop
Do you come out to small places like Middle Wallop?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.

The closest is Grateley station, roughly 3 miles away.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Is grass a problem?
Typically, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you offer repeat visits?
Tell us how often you’d like a visit.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Cod, haddock or both
- How easy the site is to reach
- The minimum booking
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Details that help
To speed things up, tell us:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A picture of where the van would go
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The address or venue name

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
