A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Common questions in Mongewell
Is Mongewell too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the van go to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for residents.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your care home visit and we will send a quote.
Can families and staff eat too?
Of course. Add them to your numbers.
Where should the van go?
On a level spot in the car park or drive, clear of emergency access.

Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Choose a time around meals and medication
- Choose a spot away from ambulance routes
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Ask about smaller portions
Room service goes up covered and hot.
Bunting, deckchairs and a seaside theme make it an occasion.

- How many people are eating
