A fish and chip van or other catering?
A themed afternoon with a van feels like a day out. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
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 generally the easier option.
Looking after everyone
Most events have a few residents with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Pick a time that suits the home’s day
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Plan how food reaches residents indoors
- Check the spot with your manager
We arrive in good time to park and heat the fryers, quietly.
Seaside photos give people something to talk about.
How the day works
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Sunset in Risinghurst is around 9:00pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September; winter visits, dark by about 3:55pm, suit lunchtime.
- First, tell us about your care home visit.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for residents.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Let us know the serving time

Risinghurst: your questions answered
Can the van park in Stansfeld Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
How far is Risinghurst from London?
Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come to Risinghurst?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Risinghurst is within our area and the rest of Oxfordshire. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac residents in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
What the van needs
If a spot is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and help find another. What matters most:
- Close to the garden or entrance
- Not blocking ambulance bays
- Not right beside residents’ rooms
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
What we serve

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The menu and how many choices
- The date and time of year
- The minimum booking
- Distance and any road charges
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
