A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
How we price a fish and chip van visit
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The menu and how many choices
- The day of the week
- The number of meals
- Service time
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.

- A photo of the parking spot
- The address or venue name
- Expected numbers
- Your date and serving time
Each quote is put together for your care home visit. Give us your date first, and we’ll check availability straight away.
Questions from South Leigh
Do you come out to small places like South Leigh?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is South Leigh close to London?
Roughly 60 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Where should the van go?
Wherever suits the home, as long as it is level and safe; we will check access.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for residents.
Do you offer repeat visits?
We are happy to talk about repeat visits.
What happens on the day
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your care home visit. December visits in South Leigh are best at lunchtime, as it is dark by about 3:55pm.
