Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few residents with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen
- Plan portion sizes with us
- List residents’ diets, allergies and portion needs
- Arrange plates and trays for residents inside
Staff carry plates to residents who cannot come outside.
Seaside photos give people something to talk about.
Before you choose a spot
We will be honest if a spot won’t work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
- A clear way in for the van
- Firm, level ground close to the home
Spring Vale is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
What we serve
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Gravy

Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Whether a minimum applies
- Parking and the way in
- How many people are eating
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.

- Your date and serving time

- The venue or postcode

A closer look at the menu
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Working with your venue
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
How it works
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Your residents can wander over to the hatch once service starts. In summer, Spring Vale has daylight until about 9:20pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In winter, dark by about 4:00pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Before we arrive
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Give us a contact for the day

Should I sort the food myself?
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 is crisp.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
