Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
What a fish and chip van costs
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The menu and how many choices
- The length of service
- How easy the site is to reach
Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is frequently the best value.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Where the van would park
- A picture of where the van would go
- The venue or postcode
The quickest way to a quote is to fill in our quote form. Tell us about your care home visit in Shenington, and we will check the date and send a price.
Organising for someone else?
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
How the day works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. For a summer visit in Shenington, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:30pm, which makes garden visits easy. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.

Do you come out to small places like Shenington?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

Typically, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Where will the van park?
Wherever suits the home, as long as it is level and safe; we will check access.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.

We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
