A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
What we need to know
The more we know about your care home visit, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Allergies and diets you know about
- A photo of the parking spot
- Anything awkward about the way in
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
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 generally the easier option.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Wigley?
Activities are important; a van visit is both. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.

Wigley: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Wigley?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you come to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.

Your manager can choose the spot.

Yes. Just include them in your numbers.
What about residents on soft diets?
Your care team knows each resident’s needs. Tell us about any diets and we will explain what we can offer; soft and texture-modified meals should come from your kitchen.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Step by step
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. For a summer visit in Wigley, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:25pm, which makes garden visits easy. In December, with dark by about 4:00pm, lunchtime is best.
