How we price a fish and chip van visit
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Any minimum charge
- Parking and the way in
- The length of service
- How far we travel
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.

To speed things up, tell us:
- Expected numbers
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A picture of where the van would go
- Dietary needs, with numbers
It is easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.

Wapping questions
Is parking a problem for the van in Wapping?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
What’s the nearest station to Wapping?
Wapping has its own station: Wapping station.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Children generally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
What about residents on soft diets?
Your care team knows each resident’s needs. Share the diets and we will say what we can do; texture-modified meals should be prepared or advised on by your own team.
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.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for residents.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Before you choose a spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- Close to the garden or entrance
- Not right beside residents’ rooms
- A route in without tight gates
As a London location, Wapping is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

Planners, venues and businesses
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
Step by step
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and get on with frying and serving. For a summer visit in Wapping, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.

- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for residents.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
