We park close to the entrance or garden, clear of ambulance access. We serve gravy, pie and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater visiting days and lunch for the care team.
Near Tattenham Corner, residents may not get out much, so a van visit is a big occasion. Everything is fried fresh at your care home visit, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.
How we price a fish and chip van visit
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The minimum booking
- How long we serve
- Numbers
- Access and parking
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The date and time of the event
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A picture of the space and the way in
- The spot you have in mind for the van
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
