Shedfield questions
Is Shedfield close to London?
Roughly 63 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Shedfield?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What about residents who don’t eat fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
How much does a fish and chip van visit cost in Shedfield?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Shedfield.
The process
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we’ll adjust start times and pace. In summer, Shedfield has daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden visits easy. In winter, dark by about 4:00pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- 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.
- We cook to order on the day for residents.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Let us know the serving time
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Entertainers and activities are great; a van visit is both. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
