What comes out of the fryer

Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger residents and fish-dodgers.

Step by step
You do not need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your care home visit. We handle the cooking and serving. In Upper Green, the garden season runs from late May, with light until about 8:55pm, to late September, around 7:10pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for residents.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.

Organising for someone else?
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Compared with a takeaway delivery, the van cooks on site, so it isn’t lukewarm by the time it’s plated. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
