Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
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 generally simpler.
How we price a fish and chip van visit
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- How easy the site is to reach
- The length of service
- Any minimum charge
- The number of meals
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The venue or postcode
- A photo of the space and the way in
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can use our quote form.
Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A trip out to a restaurant is hard for many residents. A van brings the treat to them. Larger groups usually cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
