Questions from Wolverton Common
Is Wolverton Common close to London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to Wolverton Common?
Midgham station, about 4.4 miles north of the centre.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Where should the van go?
Your manager can choose the spot.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Can residents with special diets join in?
Your care team knows each resident’s needs. Tell us about any diets and we’ll explain what we can offer; soft and texture-modified meals should come from your kitchen.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac residents in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
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.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Numbers
- How easy the site is to reach
- Your choice of menu
- Any minimum charge
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
What we need to know
The more we know about your care home visit, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- The address or venue name
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Where the van would park
- Your date and serving time
