How we price a fish and chip van visit

Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:

  • Numbers
  • The date and time of year
  • Distance and any road charges
  • Parking and the way in

A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.

Details that help

Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:

  • Dietary needs, with numbers
  • Where the van would park
  • Anything awkward about the way in
  • Roughly how many people, including children

Each quote is put together for your care home visit. Give us your date first, and we’ll check availability right away.

Care home fish and chips in Paddington Green, cooked to order

The care team knows each resident’s needs, so we work with the home on portions and diets. We’re frequently asked to cater seaside days and open days for families, with cod and chips, haddock and chips and gravy.

Care homes in Paddington Green often have a small car park or drive, so we plan a spot that keeps emergency access clear. Everything is fried fresh at your care home visit, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

FAQs for Paddington Green

Which station is closest to Paddington Green?

Paddington Green has its own station: London Paddington station.

What about parking in Paddington Green?

London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.

Can portions be smaller?

Portion sizes are agreed in advance.

Do you have allergen information?

Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.

What can residents choose from?

The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.

What does the van need?

Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.

Can you go on a lawn or field?

Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

Is there something for children?

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

What the van needs

We will be honest if a spot won’t work. The main points are:

  • A level parking spot near the entrance
  • Lighting for later visits
  • A clear way in for the van

As a London location, Paddington Green is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

How the day works

Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. Residents will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Garden visits in Paddington Green work best between late spring and early autumn, with sunset about 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.

  1. We start with the date, numbers and a serving time that suits the home.
  2. We check where the van can park and send a quote.
  3. We plan portions and dietary needs with the home.
  4. We serve hot from the hatch at the time the home chooses.
  5. We pack up quietly and leave the space tidy.

Before we arrive

  • Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
  • Plan where the queue will stand
  • Confirm the van is allowed on site

Diets, allergies and planning

Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:

  • Arrange texture-modified meals from your own kitchen
  • Plan portion sizes with us
  • Arrange plates and trays for residents inside
  • Plan it with your catering manager

Service fits around the home’s routines.

Old seaside postcards and photos spark conversation.

Should I sort the food myself?

Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.

About the food

Gravy

Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.

Curry sauce

The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
