Take a look at our pricing and what a fish and chip van costs.
A closer look at the menu
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and children love it.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your care home visit. December visits in Pamber Heath are best at lunchtime, as it is dark by about 4:00pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Getting ready for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, Hampshire included. See all areas.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Residents will appreciate cover near the hatch.

Portion sizes are agreed in advance.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before you book.
