FAQs for Whitsbury
Is Whitsbury too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Where will the van park?
Wherever suits the home, as long as it is level and safe; we’ll check access.
What about residents who don’t eat fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is usually simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Do you do regular visits?
Tell us how often you’d like a visit.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for residents.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
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.
What affects the price in Whitsbury
These are the factors that matter most:
- Access and parking
- The minimum booking
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Service time
Larger groups typically cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Your date and serving time
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The venue or postcode
- A picture of where the van would go
Each quote is put together for your care home visit. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Compared with a takeaway delivery, the van cooks on site, so it isn’t lukewarm by the time it’s plated. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your care home visit is.
