Before you choose a spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:

- A level, firm spot such as the car park or drive
- A clear way in for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
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.
About the food
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Organising for someone else?
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Plan it with your catering manager
- Keep the van clear of emergency access
- Organise staff to carry food in
- Agree numbers for residents, staff and families
Service fits around the home’s routines.

Step by step
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch when you are ready to eat. For a summer visit in North Looe, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden visits easy. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a takeaway delivery, a van serves hot food on site, so it is not lukewarm by the time it’s plated. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.
