What comes out of the fryer

Gravy

Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it’s hot, crisp and generous.

North Heath: your questions answered

How far is North Heath from London?

About 39 miles from central London, and well within our area.

Do you come out to small places like North Heath?

Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.

Do you offer repeat visits?

Tell us how frequently you’d like a visit.

Can you serve children?

Of course. Children normally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.

What if we only have street parking?

Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.

Do we need to provide equipment?

All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.

Does the batter contain gluten?

Not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before booking.

Who clears up?

We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.

What a fish and chip van costs

The price comes down to a few factors:

  • Service time
  • How easy the site is to reach
  • The number of meals
  • The minimum booking

Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your care home visit is.

What to tell us

When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:

  • A photo of the space and the way in
  • Anything awkward about the way in
  • Your date and serving time
  • The address or venue name

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, use our quote form.

How the day works

The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your residents, which we agree with you beforehand. In North Heath, late spring and early autumn evenings stay light until about 8:50pm and 7:05pm; winter visits, dark by about 3:55pm, suit lunchtime.

  1. First, the plan: what, where and what time.
  2. We come back with availability and a clear price.
  3. The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
  4. On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
  5. The pitch is left tidy when we go.

Before we arrive

  • Keep space clear for residents at the hatch
  • Give us your final numbers and allergies
  • Confirm the van is allowed on site

Choosing a fish and chip van

Organising for someone else?

If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.

Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.

Is a fish and chip van right for your care home visit?

Next to a delivery order, the van cooks on site, so food is hot when it reaches residents. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
