DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Numbers
- The date and time of year
- Distance and any road charges
- 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.
What we need to know
The more we know about your care home visit, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Where the van would park
- Roughly how many people, including children
- A photo of the parking spot
- Your date and serving time
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, use our quote form.

Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Sarsden
Is Sarsden too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Sarsden close to London?
Roughly 70 miles from the centre of London.

In the car park or on the drive, away from ambulance routes.
Do you cover Sarsden?

What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
