Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:

We set up before the mealtime, quietly.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A themed afternoon with a van feels like a day out. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your care home visit.

Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Mill End
Is Mill End too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Mill End close to London?
About 33 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Are visitors included?
Of course. Add them to your numbers.
Can you do smaller portions for residents?
Tell us what you need and we will plan portion sizes with your team.
Can you come every month?
We are happy to talk about repeat visits.
Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
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.

About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
