Do you do anything other than fish?

What does the van need?

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Looking after everyone
Most events have a few residents with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Ask about smaller portions
- Agree the plan with your kitchen and care team
- Check the spot with your manager
- Count families who are joining in
Food for residents indoors goes straight in on plates.
A regular date gives everyone something to look forward to.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Stoke Hammond?
Compared with a takeaway delivery, a van serves hot food on site, so food is hot when it reaches residents. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your care home visit.
Why Stoke Hammond hosts choose us
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- A clear quote before booking

Working with your venue
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
The process
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. In Stoke Hammond, the garden season runs from late May, with light until about 8:55pm, to late September, around 7:05pm; in winter, keep it to lunchtime.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for residents.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
Getting a price
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
