The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and it’s a favourite with children.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Working with your venue
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.

Prices and what affects them
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- How easy the site is to reach
- Cod, haddock or both
- Whether a minimum applies
- How long we serve

Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.

How it works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. For a summer visit in Newpound Common, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.

A chip van compared with other options
Compared with a takeaway delivery, the van cooks on site, so it isn’t lukewarm by the time it is plated. 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.
