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 normally the easier option.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Plan IDDSI-level meals with your own team
- Choose a time around meals and medication
- Ask about smaller portions
- List residents’ diets, allergies and portion needs
We serve at the time the home chooses, around meals and medication.
Families love being included.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Lighting for later visits
- Firm, level ground close to the home
- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
What we serve
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
- Gravy
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
A chip van compared with other options
The home’s kitchen can make fish and chips, but a van makes it an event. 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.
Why us?
- Quick service from the hatch
- Classic food your residents already know
- No kitchen needed
