Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
What a fish and chip van costs
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- The number of meals
- How easy the site is to reach
- The day of the week
- The minimum booking
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your care home visit.
What we need to know
The more we know about your care home visit, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- The venue or postcode
- Your date and serving time
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
