What a fish and chip van costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- How far we travel
- The number of meals
- Any minimum charge
- The day of the week
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your care home visit.

Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Plan how food reaches residents indoors
- Pick a time that suits the home’s day
- Share residents’ diets and allergies with us
- Count families who are joining in
When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
Families love being included.

Common questions in Milton Street
Which station is closest to Milton Street?
Berwick (Sussex) station, about 1.8 miles north of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Milton Street?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for residents are worth planning.
Can families and staff eat too?
Of course. Add them to your numbers.
Can you park at the home?
On a level spot in the car park or drive, clear of emergency access.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
