What affects the price in Moulsford
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The number of meals
- The day of the week
- How long we serve
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Your date and serving time
- A picture of the parking spot
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat, and you’ll get a clear price. Just fill in our quote form.
Moulsford questions
Do you come 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 will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Moulsford?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
Can residents with special diets join in?
Yes: residents on soft diets can share the occasion with meals from your kitchen.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is normally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What can residents choose from?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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 you get to enjoy the day.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Check the spot with your manager
- Pick a time that suits the home’s day
- Let us know if smaller portions suit
- Plan how food reaches residents indoors
Staff carry plates to residents who can’t come outside, while it’s hot.
A bit of music from residents’ younger days helps.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
A seaside afternoon with a chip van feels special, without leaving the home. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
