Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Space, access and the venue
If a spot isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- A lit spot for evening service
- Access the van can manage
- Not blocking ambulance bays
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
On the menu in South Willesborough
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Gravy
- Cod and chips
- Pie and chips
The process
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your care home visit. In South Willesborough, late spring and early autumn evenings stay light until about 8:45pm and 7:00pm; for winter visits, choose lunchtime.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Taking residents out is a big undertaking. A van brings the treat to them. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
What you get with us
- Hot food handed straight over
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Rain does not stop the fryers

With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Organise staff to carry food in
- Arrange texture-modified meals from your own kitchen
- Agree the plan with your kitchen and care team
- Choose a time around meals and medication
Families can join in, with numbers agreed in advance.
Inviting families makes it even more special.
