For a care home near Sutton, tell us about lanes and the drive. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

How it works
Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. In Sutton, the garden season runs from late May, with light until about 8:45pm, to late September, around 7:00pm; in winter, keep it to lunchtime.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Tell us when you want to eat

Planning help
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- A spot residents can enjoy, inside or out
- Light near the van after dark
- Not right beside residents’ rooms
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

What a fish and chip van costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Distance and any road charges
- The length of service
- The minimum booking
- Parking and the way in
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. Your quote spells it all out.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- Where the van would park
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The address or venue name
- The date and when you’d like to eat
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can use our quote form.
