Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Plan how food reaches residents indoors
- Share residents’ diets and allergies with us
- Agree the plan with your kitchen and care team
- Choose a time around meals and medication
Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Music from the 1950s and 60s sets the mood.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Not blocking ambulance bays
- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
- Not right beside residents’ rooms
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
From the hatch
- Pie and chips
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Gravy
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
What affects the price in Warborne
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Your choice of menu
- Whether a minimum applies
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Distance and any road charges
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- A picture of the parking spot
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The venue or postcode
- Where you’d like the van to go

About the food
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
For event organisers in Warborne
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.

Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Warborne
Can you serve near the sea around Warborne?
Yes, of course. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Which station is closest to Warborne?
The closest is Lymington Town station, roughly 1 mile away.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can everyone take part?
The home knows each resident best. Share the diets and we will say what we can do; soft and texture-modified meals should come from your kitchen.
Can you come every month?
Ask us about repeat dates when you enquire.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Is a fish and chip van right for your care home visit?
A seaside afternoon with a chip van feels special, without leaving the home. 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.
Why book with us
