Planning help
Perfect for your care home visit in Willesborough
It is food residents know and enjoy for most residents.
The van suits big events and small ones. Common bookings include:
- Seaside days
- Birthday treats for residents
- Summer fêtes and open days
- Day centre treats
Hatch Park is close by, a good starting point for a chat about days out.
What your quote should include
- How late numbers can change
- What they can offer for dietary needs
- The service time, and the cost of running over
- How much space the van takes up
Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Plan portion sizes with us
- Agree the plan with your kitchen and care team
- Organise staff to carry food in
- Choose a spot away from ambulance routes
We arrive in good time to park and heat the fryers, quietly.
Bunting, deckchairs and a seaside theme make it an occasion.
Working with your venue
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Willesborough: your questions answered
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What’s the nearest station to Willesborough?
The closest is Ashford International station, roughly 0.9 miles away.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your residents, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for residents are worth planning.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
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. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Why book with us
- A van that becomes part of the event
- No kitchen needed
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- All the chip-shop extras
Read how we price or the cost guide.

- A level parking spot near the entrance
- A spot residents can enjoy, inside or out
- With the serving side away from windows
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
