Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- The date and time of year
- Parking and the way in
- Distance and any road charges
- Whether a minimum applies
Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest how to make it work. A short menu is frequently the best value.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The address or venue name
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Where the van would park
- Dietary needs, with numbers
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, fill in our quote form.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. 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.
About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
How it works
You don’t need to do much on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your care home visit. The frying and serving are down to us. In summer, Quainton has daylight until about 9:25pm, which makes garden visits easy. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Give us a contact for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
Getting a price
Send us the date, the address or HP22 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and we will reply with a quote. Just fill in our quote form.

A chip van compared with other options
Compared with a takeaway delivery, the van cooks on site, so food is hot when it reaches residents. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

Quainton questions
Is Quainton close to London?
Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Quainton too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What about residents on soft diets?
Yes: residents on soft diets can share the occasion with meals from your kitchen, following their care plans.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your residents, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you cover Quainton?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Quainton and the rest of Buckinghamshire. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
Where will the van park?
In the car park or on the drive, away from ambulance routes.
For planners, venues and organisers
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
