Care home fish and chips in Wildridings, cooked to order

Around Wildridings, homes often have a drive and garden. Tell us about access. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. 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 anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
How we price a fish and chip van visit
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Service time
- Your choice of menu
- The number of meals
- Parking and the way in
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.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- A photo of the parking spot
- The date and time of the event
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Rough numbers for adults and children
Not sure of numbers yet? That’s fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. Start when you’re ready: fill in our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Arrange plates and trays for residents inside
- Plan it with your catering manager
- Tell us about residents’ needs in writing
- Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen
Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Music from the 1950s and 60s sets the mood.

A fish and chip van or other catering?

What you get with us
- No kitchen needed
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
