Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Agree numbers for residents, staff and families
- Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen
- Plan it with your catering manager
- Fit the visit around routines
Families can join in, with numbers agreed in advance.
A bit of music from residents’ younger days helps.
For planners, venues and organisers
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Rowfant
How far is Rowfant from London?
Roughly 26 miles from the centre of London.
What’s the nearest station to Rowfant?
Three Bridges station, about 2.6 miles west of the centre.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for residents are worth planning.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, including West Sussex. Find your area.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
What happens on the day
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. Sunset in Rowfant is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September; winter visits, dark by about 3:55pm, suit lunchtime.

Before you choose a spot
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A level, firm spot such as the car park or drive
- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
- Not blocking ambulance bays
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
What we serve
- Mushy peas
- Pie and chips
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Gravy
A chip van compared with other options
Taking residents out is a big undertaking. A van brings the treat to them. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Why book with us
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Something for residents to gather round
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
See our prices page and the cost guide.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
How we price a fish and chip van visit
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- Any minimum charge
- The number of meals
- Parking and the way in
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- A photo of the parking spot
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, use our quote form.
