DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
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.
Working with your venue
Venues often 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’ll work through them with you.
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.
Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Whitehouse
Is Whitehouse close to London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London.
What’s the nearest station to Whitehouse?
The closest is Milton Keynes Central station, roughly 1.7 miles away.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can the van park on grass?
Typically, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.

Is a fish and chip van right for your care home visit?
A trip out to a restaurant is hard for many residents. A van brings the treat to them. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your care home visit.
