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. In Padbury, late spring and early autumn evenings stay light until about 9:00pm and 7:10pm; winter visits, dark by about 3:55pm, suit lunchtime.
- First, tell us about your care home visit.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for residents.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Next to a delivery order, the van cooks on site, so it is not lukewarm by the time it’s plated. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.
