Care home fish and chips for Privett events
Should I sort the food myself?
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 cooks in front of your residents instead.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.

About the food
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and children love it.
What affects the price in Privett
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Any minimum charge
- Distance and any road charges
- How many people are eating
- The length of service
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your care home visit.
Details that help
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes

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. To send your details, use our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Keep the van clear of emergency access
- Involve the kitchen and care team early

- Pick a time that suits the home’s day
When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
Inviting families makes it even more special.
