A chip van near Stanmore
For planners, venues and organisers
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
About our care home fish and chips in Stanmore
We park close to the entrance or garden, clear of ambulance access. For retirement village events and fish and chip Fridays, we can cook mushy peas, haddock and chips and cod and chips and more.
Around Stanmore, homes often have a drive and garden. Let us know about the way in. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and it is a favourite with children.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For a lovely, simple occasion, a chip van visit is hard to beat in Stanmore. Larger groups generally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What you get with us
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
