Is a fish and chip van right for your care home visit?

Why us?
- No surprises in your quote
- Something for residents to gather round

See our pricing and the cost guide.
Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Fit the visit around routines
- Agree numbers for residents, staff and families
- Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen
- Tell us about residents’ needs in writing
Afterwards we pack up quietly.
A bit of music from residents’ younger days helps.
What happens on the day
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. For a summer visit in Wisley, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Before we arrive
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Plan where the queue will stand

Common questions in Wisley
Can the van go to venues in the Surrey Hills 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 Wisley?
The closest is West Byfleet station, roughly 1.7 miles away.
Are visitors included?
Yes. Just include them in your numbers.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
What affects the price in Wisley
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The date and time of year
- How easy the site is to reach
- How far we travel
- The menu and how many choices
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your care home visit.
