Care home fish and chips in Singleton, fried fresh

Your team knows your residents best, so we work with the home on portions and diets. We serve mushy peas, cod and chips and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for lunch for the care team and summer fêtes and open days.

At a rural home near Singleton, access matters so we can plan the route. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer before booking.

Where the van can park in Singleton

Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:

  • Access the van can manage
  • Firm, level ground close to the home
  • Lighting for later visits

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?

You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

What a fish and chip van costs

There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:

  • How long we serve
  • How many people are eating
  • How far we travel
  • Cod, haddock or both

Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.

Getting an accurate quote

To check availability and price, we need:

  • Where the van would park
  • A picture of the space and the way in
  • The venue or postcode
  • Any dietary needs and allergies

Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will come back with a clear quote.

Planners, venues and businesses

If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.

Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.

Step by step

We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your residents, and we agree exactly where before the day. In summer, Singleton has daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden visits easy. In winter, dark by about 4:00pm, a lunchtime visit is better.

  1. First, tell us about your care home visit.
  2. We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
  3. Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
  4. On the day, we park up and fry fresh for residents.
  5. We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.

Preparing for the day

  • Let us know who to talk to on the day
  • Let us know the serving time
  • Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
