Care home fish and chips in Ower, fried fresh
Your team knows your residents best, so we work with the home on portions and diets. For sheltered housing get-togethers and residents’ birthdays and anniversaries, we can cook haddock and chips, pie and chips and cod and chips and more.
Near Ower, residents may not get out much, so a chip van visit is a special day. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
How we price a fish and chip van visit
There is nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- The menu and how many choices
- Any minimum charge
- Numbers
- The date and time of year
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
Details that help
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- The venue or postcode
- Allergies and diets you know about
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- A picture of where the van would go

Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
