What a fish and chip van costs
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- How far we travel
- Access and parking
- How long we serve
- Your choice of menu
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
Getting an accurate quote
These details help us quote quickly:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The address or venue name
- The date and time of the event
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A photo of the spot helps too. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Agree the plan with your kitchen and care team
- Agree numbers for residents, staff and families
- Organise staff to carry food in
- Plan portion sizes with us
Food for residents indoors goes straight in on plates, while it’s hot.
Bunting, deckchairs and a seaside theme make it an occasion.
How the day works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your residents, and we agree exactly where before the day. For a summer visit in Spelsbury, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:30pm, which makes garden visits easy. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for residents.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Working with your venue
