Well End: your questions answered
Is Well End close to London?
About 27 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station is closest to Well End?
The closest is Bourne End station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Is grass a problem?
Normally, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Can you park at the home?
On a level spot in the car park or drive, clear of emergency access.
What about residents on soft diets?
Yes, with meals for texture-modified diets from the home’s own kitchen, following their care plans.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
Can you do smaller portions for residents?
Portion sizes are agreed in advance.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
About our care home fish and chips in Well End
Many residents prefer smaller portions on a plate, and we plan that with you. For care staff treats and retirement village events, we can cook sausage and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips and more.
Rural care homes near Well End can feel a long way from the seaside, so a chip van visit is a special day. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
How it works
We work to your timings. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it is served. For a summer visit in Well End, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:25pm, which makes garden visits easy. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- Tell us what you’re 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.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure the van can get in
- Share the timings for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
