Organising for someone else?
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Care home fish and chips in Sutton Green, fried fresh
Monthly or seasonal visits become a highlight. We are frequently asked to cater family days and residents’ birthdays and anniversaries, with pie and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
For a care home near Sutton Green, tell us about lanes and the drive. We cook inside the van, right where your residents are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

About the food
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Sutton Green: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Sutton Green?
Worplesdon station, about 1.1 miles north-west of the centre.
Can the van park in Mayford Meadows?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can everyone take part?
Your care team knows each resident’s needs. Share the diets and we’ll say what we can do; soft and texture-modified meals should come from your kitchen.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac residents in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can you come every month?
Tell us how often you’d like a visit.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your care home visit and we will send a quote.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Sutton Green.
