Southampton questions
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Is Southampton close to London?
About 69 miles from central London.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before you book.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your care home visit and we will send a quote.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What about residents on soft diets?
Yes: residents on soft diets can share the occasion with meals from your kitchen, following their care plans.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Keep the van clear of emergency access
- Arrange plates and trays for residents inside
- Agree the plan with your kitchen and care team
- Tell us about residents’ needs in writing
Residents in their rooms get food on a covered tray right away.
A seaside theme with bunting adds to the fun.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.

Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Southampton? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

How it works
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your care home visit. Sunset in Southampton is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September; winter visits, dark by about 4:00pm, suit lunchtime.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Make sure the van can get in
- Keep space clear for residents at the hatch
