Planning for dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Arrange plates and trays for residents inside
- Plan IDDSI-level meals with your own team
- Pick a time that suits the home’s day
- Choose a spot away from ambulance routes
Families can join in, with numbers agreed in advance.
Inviting families makes it even more special.
The process
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. December visits in Weeke are best at lunchtime, as it’s dark by about 4:00pm.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Share the timings for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Prices and what affects them
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Access and parking
- How long we serve
- Cod, haddock or both
- Any minimum charge
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.
Details that help
The more we know about your care home visit, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Where the event is
- A picture of the parking spot
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Where you’d like the van to go
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat, and you will get a clear price. Just use our quote form.
