Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Choose a spot away from ambulance routes
- Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen
- Pick a time that suits the home’s day
- Count families who are joining in
We serve at the time the home chooses, around meals and medication.

Questions from Mop End
Do you come to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
How far is Mop End from London?
About 27 miles from central London.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac residents in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Buckinghamshire. Find your area.

Read our pricing and our guide to van hire costs.
Should I sort the food myself?
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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
How we price a fish and chip van visit
These are the factors that matter most:
- Access and parking
- The menu and how many choices
- Any minimum charge
- Distance and any road charges
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.

The process
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. In summer, Mop End has daylight until about 9:25pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- First, tell us about your care home visit.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for residents.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
