Organising for someone else?
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
The process
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can get on with your care home visit. Sunset in Winslow is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September; for winter visits, choose lunchtime.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Keep space clear for residents at the hatch
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
