Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Your choice of menu
- How far we travel
- The minimum booking
- Parking and the way in
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your care home visit.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Anything awkward about the way in
Each quote is put together for your care home visit. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
West Burton: your questions answered
Is West Burton too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Is West Burton close to London?
Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac residents in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
Can residents with special diets join in?
The home knows each resident best. Share the diets and we will say what we can do; texture-modified meals should be prepared or advised on by your own team.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
How it works
There is very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your care home visit. We handle the cooking and serving. Garden visits in West Burton work best between late spring and early autumn, with sunset about 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.

What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
Is a fish and chip van right for your care home visit?
Your kitchen could cook it, but a van turns it into an occasion. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
