FAQs for Ravenstone
Do you come out to small places like Ravenstone?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Ravenstone close to London?
Roughly 53 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Ravenstone.
What can residents choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
What does the van need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
What about residents on soft diets?
Yes, with meals for texture-modified diets from the home’s own kitchen.
Can the van park on grass?
Usually, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you offer repeat visits?
Yes, ask us about regular dates.

About the food
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and children love it.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Service time
- The number of meals
- Your choice of menu
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Expected numbers
- Where the van would park
- The venue or postcode
- A photo of the space and the way in
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat, and we will reply with a quote. Just send us your details through our quote form.
Diets, allergies and planning
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Let us know if smaller portions suit
- Organise staff to carry food in
- Plan it with your catering manager
- Keep the van clear of emergency access
We serve at the time the home chooses, around meals and medication.
A regular date gives everyone something to look forward to.
Working with your venue
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.

Should I sort the food myself?
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 typically the easier option.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
