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. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

The van parks in the car park, on the drive or on a firm lawn, away from emergency routes. We serve haddock and chips, gravy and pie and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater family days and summer fêtes and open days.

About the food
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Taking residents out is a big undertaking. A van brings the treat to them. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
Why book with us
- Quick service from the hatch
- Something for residents to gather round
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
How we price a fish and chip van visit
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The day of the week
- Any minimum charge
- How long we serve
- Parking and the way in
Larger groups generally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Expected numbers
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The date and time of the event
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, send us your details through our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen
- Agree the plan with your kitchen and care team
- Fit the visit around routines
- List residents’ diets, allergies and portion needs
We set up before the mealtime, quietly.
